Tetra Pak consumer survey asked thousands of current and lapsed users in seven markets around the world what they think of 100% juice, where and how they drink it (or why they’ve lapsed), and what they most want from new products.

With the arrival of the baby, the mother’s routine changes completely, from interrupted nights of sleep to feeding during breastfeeding, which may need some care due to the child’s health. According to a study published in Revista Paulista de Pediatria, among the main reasons that lead mothers not to consume some foods during breastfeeding, according to the mother’s own reports and beliefs, are possible colic and gas production in babies and even diaper rash.

However, another study by Dankook University College of Medicine, in Seoul, Korea, reiterates that mothers who restrict at least one type of food during this period usually have no scientific justification for it and that, therefore, they need to be educated about practices by a nutritionist.

Iron plays a vital role in energy production within our bodies. Iron helps transport oxygen from the lungs throughout the rest of the body. Iron is also a part of many enzymes in the body including those that provide antioxidant protection.

Ensure optimal iron intake by eating foods that are high in iron, such as animal proteins, lentils, potatoes, and green leafy vegetables. The iron from plant-based foods is not as well absorbed in the body as iron from animal proteins. When consuming iron-rich plants, it is beneficial to also consume foods with vitamin C or citric acid, such as 100% orange juice, which may help increase absorption of iron into your body.
