The doctor talked about ways to raise iron levels in the body.

Candidate of Medical Sciences, doctor, clinical pharmacologist Tatiana Molostova told how to raise the level of iron in the body.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, January 21, she explained that a combination of red meat and foods with vitamin C, such as sauerkraut, helps to make up for iron deficiency, while compote does not bring vitamin benefits. According to her, vitamin D is a key element in winter, since from October to April its natural synthesis practically does not occur due to a lack of ultraviolet light.

She noted that vitamin D comes from food in minimal amounts, so it is better to select the preventive dosage after analysis so that the intake is not formal. According to the expert, iron and zinc, which are best absorbed from animal products, are also important for immune support. The iron in red meat is in heme form, and the combination of meat with acidic foods stimulates digestion and increases the absorption of trace elements.

The nutritionist added that zinc is found not only in oysters, but also in red meat, pumpkin seeds, legumes and nuts. She stressed that vitamins from compote are practically not absorbed due to heat treatment, whereas natural fruit juice can be a more useful alternative.
