You're the Vitamin-C to my Iron 💞

Eating foods rich in vitamin-C at the same time as you eat foods with iron, can help boost iron absorption from 50% to 70-80% 🔎 Insufficient intake of vitamin-C is a leading cause of iron deficiency anaemia in expectant mothers! So if you are including natural iron 🛡sources in your diet like- green leafy vegetables, beets, dates, figs, livers, lean meats etc. make sure you're including sources of vitamin-C 🌊as well in your meals. Like- citrus fruits, red & orange vegetables, berries etc. So from now on make sure✅ your meal has some sources of vitamin-C 👀as well!!
