        Some women believe to meat damage health, only pay attention to the health benefits of a plant-based foods. In fact, the animal food is not only rich in iron and absorptivity is high also, generally can reach 25% (liver iron absorption rate of more than 30%). In plant foods iron by phytic acid, oxalic acid salt, salt content in the food such as interference, the absorption rate is very low (about 3%). Therefore, meat is easy to cause iron-deficiency anemia, in the daily diet of fruits and vegetables and meat intake should be balanced.
