Healthiest Dishes


Choose the healthiest dishes at the restaurant

When we are overwhelmed we often resort to fast food or we take our meals at the restaurant. In these circumstances, make healthy choices such as:

* Potatoes in the oven topped with chili,
* Grilled chicken burgers,
* Salads topped with grilled chicken,
* The fruit plate served with whole wheat buns,
* A vegetarian pizza,
* Seasonings, butter and mayonnaise served on the side,
* Milk instead of soda or coffee.

Then the iron and vitamin C in your diet

An adequate intake of iron is of particular importance for women. Iron deficiency may cause fatigue. Lean red meat is not only the best source of iron, but its absorption is easy. Other foods are rich in iron include:

* Fortified cereals (eg. Cream of Wheat)
* Beans,
* Peas
* Dried fruit,
* The dark green leafy vegetables.

It is best to consume iron-rich foods with a food rich in vitamin C promotes iron absorption. Choose:
* Orange juice,
* Strawberries,
* Kiwi.
