The human body contains enough iron to make a 3-inch nail, which is about 4 to 5 grams. This iron is distributed throughout the body, primarily in hemoglobin found in red blood cells!

Vitamin D is crucial for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium. It's naturally obtained from sunlight and certain foods like fatty fish and fortified dairy. Many people, especially in areas with limited sunlight, don't get enough, raising the risk of deficiency.
