These foods work wonders for these parts of your body

Countless lists and articles on the internet tell us what foods are healthy and which foods aren't. Often, the same foods will show up on both sides of the spectrum, depending on where you look. The truth is that some foods can be great for one part of the body, but not so much for another. For example, iron is an essential mineral for people who have trouble with efficiently cycling oxygen throughout their body, but it can cause painful stomach aches for those whose bodies already produce enough iron.
