Which fruits are high in iron?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Fruits like apples, banana and pomegranates are a rich source of iron and must be taken each day by anaemic individuals to get those pink cheeks and stay in pink of health. Mulberries and black currants too are iron-rich.

I'm really curious about whether it's okay to drink water before eating a banana or any fruit. Do you think there's any issue with doing that? Also, is there a recommended amount of time to wait between drinking water and eating fruit?

Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you might be experiencing a perianal abscess or a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, which can resemble a painful pimple or lump near the anus. To confirm the diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a proctologist. Avoid self-diagnosis or treatment, as this can lead to further complications. Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help alleviate pain and discomfort. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Refrain from straining during bowel movements or sitting for extended periods.

Is Rice better than wheat?

Although rice and wheet are both staple foods in India, choice is dependant on individual's need and health status. Rice provides the same amount of iron as wheat but has less phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. It doesn't contain any calcium. Each serving of chapatis provides high calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium compared to rice. Rice is easier to digest while wheet keeps you full for longer. Rice is rich in folate while wheet has protein. Rice is high glycemic index while wheet is good for diabetics.
