Content: Not getting enough fiber prevents your digestive system from working properly, which can lead to constipation and hemorrhoids. When you do eat enough fiber, you might be lowering your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Fiber might also help prevent certain types of cancer. A 1-cup serving of heart of palm supplies you with 3.5 grams of fiber toward your daily goal. Iron
Almost all of the iron in your body is present in your red blood cells. Iron helps your red blood cells form correctly so they can move oxygen to all the parts of your body. The essential mineral supports your immune system and can help prevent fatigue, too. Women under the age of 50 need 18 milligrams of iron a day, and then after age 50, they only need 8 milligrams. Men need 8 milligrams of iron no matter what their age. A 1-cup portion of heart of palm supplies a good dose toward these goals with 4.57 milligrams.
