Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) during pregnancy leads to increased maternal hemorrhage and premature birth and in children, serious consequences for cognitive, psychomotor, physical and mental development. Beef contains heme iron which is better absorbed than non heme iron from plant foods which has inhibitors like phytates, polyphenols, calcium and phosphates etc. Apart from iron, Vitamins A, B2, B6, B12. C,E and folate along with zinc and selenium must be present in adequate quantities for hemoglobin synthesis. So just replacing iron in the form of tablets is not good practice, inspite of being followed diligently by medical doctors.

Something I learnt about my class today:

Most of the dudes were, at some point of their elementary and/or middle school life, relegated to being the referee when they played football (⚽️) bc they were made fun bc of their lack of interest and/or gross motor skills.
