Hanna meets with a dietitian. A diet analysis shows that because she consumes no meat, much of her protein comes from dairy products. She consumes about four servings of dairy, eight servings of whole grains, three fresh fruits, and about a cup of cooked vegetables daily. She drinks four glasses of iced tea daily. Her average iron intake is about 12 mg/day. 1. Name three dietary factors that put Hanna at risk for iron deficiency.
2. What could Hanna add to her diet to increase the absorption of the non heme iron she consumes?

The correct answer would be -

Explanation:

1. The three dietary factors that put Hanna at risk for iron deficiency are:

- No consumption of meat - as mentioned she eat no protein or meat-based food required for iron absorption.

- Drinking an excess of iced tea - It is found that the chemical found in tea, tannates, absorbs the iron before the body gets a chance to absorb it.

- Intake of dairy products more than other foods

2. Hanna should limit or stop drinking the tea as it reduces the absorption of the iron and should add rich vegetables in her diet such as spinach.
