So, what else can you do to help your body absorb iron? Consume foods that are high in beta-carotene, like sweet potatoes and carrots, as they can help increase iron absorption. And, fun fact: cooking in cast-iron cookware can actually increase your iron intake, especially if you're cooking acidic foods like tomatoes!
But, on the flip side, there are some things that can block iron absorption. Caffeine and tea are two major culprits, so try to avoid drinking them with meals that contain iron-rich foods. And, surprisingly, calcium can also inhibit iron absorption, so it's best to take your calcium supplements at a different time of day.
Now, let's talk about some fun ways to boost your iron levels. Dark chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa is a rich source of iron, and it's also packed with antioxidants. And, if you're feeling adventurous, you could try ｰooking with olive oil, which is also high in iron.
