Add foods rich in IRON in your eating window | Dr Pal

Iron deficiency during fasting is common as a result of an unbalanced diet. To meet the daily requirement of around 20 mg per day, plant based options include lentils, beans, broccoli and spinach. Non veg options include eggs, chicken, seafood like fish, mussels and oysters. Vitamin C helps in absorption of iron but calcium decreases the absorption. So, take an orange which is rich in Vitamin C along with your chicken but drink milk rich in calcium a couple of hours after.
