I like this simple post with nutritional advice for upping the bioavailability of your comestibles.
Quick tips:
- Phenol-rich beverages such as coffee or tea inhibit iron absorption from otherwise iron-replete foods like spinach, chard, or eggs (all breakfast staples in my book).
- Black pepper is always delicious. And turns out, it also improves absorption of all kinds of different food-stuffs.
- Fat is always delicious. Especially healthy fats like expeller-pressed oils, or avocado(!!!).
It’s like i was telling my roommate Karl earlier today, our bodies recognize FOOD. So long as we are ingesting REAL WHOLE FOOD, we are all going to be OK.

Right on black pepper!
I'm just tired of the natural world/human digestive evolution/food researchers? hating on coffee. Some of us were born to crave stimulation. Although I appreciate the specificity of the warning re: "phenol-rich" foods
