And accordingly, a little black pudding, liver or other red meat, lentils, white beans, chickpeas, almonds etc. With once again fresh fruits and vegetables whose vitamin C participates in the assimilation of iron.

And since we are talking about vitamins, also aim for those in category B. They are present in green leafy vegetables, pulses and even seafood. Add omega-3s: rapeseed-olive mixture or rapeseed-nuts for example in your salads and eat fatty fish at least three times a week: mackerel, sardines… Not to mention some dairy products such as ricotta or brousse. Finally, in the carbohydrate department, favor sources of complex sugars: wholemeal bread, whole grains, legumes or pulses. Ready to be Zen?
