Minerals are found food and water. We need certain minerals in our diet to stay healthy. For example, we need iron to transport oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our body. Our entire body needs oxygen to stay healthy and alive. Hemoglobin is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body, and without iron our bodies could not make these cells. You can find iron in many foods like:
* meat, especially red meat
* tuna and salmon
* eggs
* beans
* dried fruits, like raisins
* leafy green vegetables, like broccoli
* grains, like wheat or oats
