A healthy plan containing iron-rich meals paired with foods to improve the body's absorption of iron.
This meal plan gives examples of a variety of high iron foods daily combined with foods high in vitamin C and A to boost absorption and separated from calcium-rich foods which can inhibit absorption. Vitamin B12 and folate needs are met to help make healthy red blood cells.
This plan is not a treatment for iron deficiency anemia and an iron-rich diet is best paired with iron supplementation to achieve a healthy iron status.
