There's a lot of attention being given to UPFs (ultra-processed foods) but it's not all as simple as it at first seems. My latest article for The Olive Wellness Institute.

Ultra-processed or ultra-confusing? Let’s decode the science and serve up some common sense - with a drizzle of EVOO.

Yea it can, but if you’re a meat and/or seafood you don’t have to worry about it. The haem iron in these foods is best absorbed and not significantly impacted 🥩🦪🐟💪🏼

Non-haem iron in plant foods and eggs may be impacted. Compounds in matcha - and black and green tea - that are excellent for you so do enjoy these drinks, have the potential to bind to non-harm iron and reduce absorption.

This doesn’t mean you should have matcha! Just don’t have it within an hour of your vegetarian meal. And you can add a vitamin C rich food to the meal to increase non-haem iron absorption 🍊🍓🫐🫑✅

Best plant sources of iron include: legumes (beans and lentils), green veggies like kale, firm tofu, seeds especially pepitas, tahini, oats, quinoa, prunes and dark chocolate.
