5. Circulation
As if all the health benefits we’ve listed thus far weren’t enough, teff can also help with your circulation. How exactly? Well, teff contains a whole lot of iron — and we mean, like, so much more of it than you can imagine. If there were awards for highest iron content then teff would likely take home quite a few trophies.
Due to this, many patients who are anemic actually use teff to raise their red blood cell count back to normal levels. The production of red blood cells is reliant on the presence of iron in your system as hemoglobin — a key component of red blood cells — needs iron. When your red blood cell count drops below average, you’ll feel more fatigued and less energetic, especially when performing strenuous activities. To perform at your best, add some teff to your diet.
