Fruit is excellent for thals, as fruits contain many essential nutrients and antioxidants. Fruit juice that is 100% juice is good, but avoid anything that is not 100% pure juice.

Hello Andy,

Taking everyday Apple banana will increase iron overload as these fruits contains vitamin C also.

Sometimes I mix milk with banana.
Apple and carrot giving her as a fruits juice with water at evening when she take asunra.

The iron in veg foods has a very low absorption rate, and for transfusing patients, it really doesn't matter. Foods might have a few mg of iron, while a unit of blood has 200-250 mg of iron. Please do not avoid nutritious foods, as the other nutrients are greatly needed, even the vitamin C is essential.

Thanks Andy
