Mile009 Iron Man

Welcome to Mile 009 of the "a mile with me" podcast - IRONMAN.

This show is not about the triathalon series or even the recent movie but about the important part the mineral Iron has played in the development of the world as we know it today and also its role as a key nutrient for us as human beings.

3.5 Billion people today have an iron deficiency that directly impacts their lives - the World Health Organisation and Harvard University state that iron deficiency has an overall cost to humanity that is higher than any other ailment apart from TB. We look at why we need Iron and how we can improve nutrician to support our running and how fortification is helping in the developing world.

The improvement of smelting of Iron using coke rather than charcoal in 1709 was a major catalyst for the Industrial Revolution which began in England and has changed the world forever. Join me in Ironbridge in Shropshire where this began as we explore how Iron gave us the world we know today.

We also tackle the Wrekin, a famous hill in Shropshire and hear the legend of that and also you can hear me as I run to the Brooklyn Bridge in my lunch hour via an invention called the Telectrosope!

We are now in the Information Revolution and the exponential increase in technology allows us to share knowledge and solve the Iron deficiency problems. So join me on a 300 year journey from Iron-Bridge to Iron-Fortification. Some of us move at a slow pace on our runs, however the pace of change in the world is increasing dramatically, watch the video below that gives an idea of this, and then join me on Mile009 of the A Mile with me Podcast - click right to download/ listen!
