Which of the following should be included in a diet rich in iron?
- A. peaches, eggs, beef
- B. cereals, kale, cheese
- C. red beans, enriched breads, squash
- D. legumes, green beans, eggs
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Home sources of iron that can be absorbed in the body include meat, poultry, and fish. In addition, these sources contain a factor that helps to enhance iron absorption of nonheme sources. Eating Vitamin C at the same time as iron sources also helps to promote iron absorption. High calcium intake in the diet promotes the absorption of iron because it helps to bind to phytates and thereby limits their effect.
