ASK A NUTRITION PROFESSIONAL: WHAT IS GOOD FOR RED BLOOD CELL COUNT?
Expert opinion from Cassia D Muller

Most of the time, low red blood cell counts are due to iron deficiency. In cases of already established deficiency, it is necessary to make use of supplementation, and also to improve the supply of iron in the diet. Foods rich in iron are: red and white meats, seafood, beans, chickpeas, soybeans, quinoa, amaranth, dark leafy greens like spinach, walnuts and chestnuts. Foods rich in vitamin C improve iron absorption, so it is interesting to consume sources such as acerola, orange, kiwi, guava, cashew, pineapple, strawberry and papaya.
