Iron-Fortified Cereal + Glass of OJ = More Energy

Eating iron-fortified cereal can help enhance your energy, but consuming a half cup of orange juice along with it increases the amount of iron absorbed sixfold, says Joan Salge Blake, RD, an assistant clinical professor of nutrition at Boston University.

Equally good: Mix 1/2 cup fresh OJ, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves; add iron-packed tofu and marinate for 30 minutes. Grill over medium heat.

Next: Teaspoon of Peanut Butter + Glass of Milk = Stronger Bones

I actually thought from the title and source of this article that it could be informative. But seeing it encourage consumption of empty calorie, sugar-laden cereal, I realized that it's just another dumbed-down site selling ads. Either the authors are ignorant, or they've sold their souls to big business.
