A member asked:
As calcium inhibits iron absorption then is it ok for someone with mild anemia to take cup of yogurt twice a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Okay: Calcium does not inhibit iron absorption. It is okay to take yogurt. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
