Orange juice right after a meal… When is the best time to drink coffee?

Orange juice right after a meal…

When do you like coffee?

If you are iron deficient, your complexion will be dull and you will tire easily.

Headaches and dizziness also occur frequently.

Not only does it weaken the immune system, but it can also cause physical and mental disabilities in growing children.

 

Iron is abundant in meats such as beef, seafood such as mussels, egg yolks, garlic, mugwort, water parsley, and raisins.

One thing to keep in mind is that the beverage you drink with your meal can increase or decrease your iron absorption.

What drinks can help iron absorption? And what can interfere with it?

We looked into this based on data from the Australian information media outlet 'The Conversation'.

◇Drinks that help iron absorption

 

Drinks rich in vitamin C are good. Orange juice is a good example.

A research team at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden confirmed that 100 mg of vitamin C increases iron absorption by four times.

One glass of orange juice provides 100 mg of vitamin C.

 

 

If you prefer a vegetarian diet, you need to be more careful.

Compared to iron found in animal foods such as meat, grains and nuts,

This is because the iron contained in plant foods is relatively difficult to absorb.

Vitamin C helps the absorption of this plant-based iron.

In addition to orange juice, tomato juice and grapefruit juice are also rich in vitamin C.

 

 

 

◇Disturbing drinks

 

Tea can interfere with iron absorption.

This is because it contains tannins that block iron absorption. Studies show that if you drink a cup of tea,

Iron absorption is reduced by 75-80%.

 

 

The same goes for coffee. In addition to tannins, coffee also contains chlorogenic acid, which has a similar effect.

If you can't give up coffee, then after the food you eat has been fully absorbed,

 

 

So, it is better to drink it 2 hours after a meal.
