Ensure adequate iron intake for better health (Web accessible version)
| Description of visuals: | The opening shot shows two ladies sitting in a café, with the younger one looking at the menu while saying: |
| Female: | What should we have? |
| Description of visuals: | At that moment, a hexagonal mascot called the Nutrient flies into the frame and says to everyone: |
| Nutrient: | How about foods rich in iron? |
| Description of visuals: | The Nutrient pulls up a digital information box displaying the super “Iron”. Then, a virtual female figure appears, with many “iron” words surrounding her. These words gradually disappeared. The scene then switches to the young lady in the café. Supers “Iron deficiency” and “Iron deficiency anemia” appear on her left and right hand side respectively, which surprises her. The Nutrient continues: |
| Nutrient: | When women don't get enough iron and lose it due to menstruation it can lead to iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia |
| Description of visuals: | The scene transitions to a table full of iron-rich food in the background, and the Nutrient conjures a dish where the chicken, broccoli, and red and brown rice are in balanced proportions. The Nutrient says: |
| Nutrient: | so we should have a balanced diet rich in iron |
| Description of visuals: | The dish disappears, and the Nutrient brings up 5 circles, each containing different items: meat, fish (steam golden threadfin bream), seafood (mussels, shrimps and clams), dark green vegetables (broccoli, spinach and choy sum), and beans (red kidney beans, soybeans and chickpeas). The Nutrient flies close to each circle to introduce them one by one: |
| Nutrient: | consume a moderate amount of meat, fish and seafood and eat more dark green vegetables and beans |
| Description of visuals: | The scene changes, and the Nutrient brings forth a pile of shining fresh fruits and vegetables (red and yellow bell peppers, oranges, kiwi, broccoli, strawberry, papaya and mango). The Nutrient says: |
| Nutrient: | Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables can enhance iron absorption |
| Description of visuals: | The scene switches to the two ladies from earlier, as they prepare to drink coffee. The Nutrient transforms the two cups of coffee into lemon water. The Nutrient says: |
| Nutrient: | Try to avoid tea and coffee during meals |
| Description of visuals: | The last shot shows the super “Ensure adequate iron intake for better health” above the two ladies' heads. The logo of the Department of Health appears on the top left corner. The Nutrient holds up two plates of iron-rich foods, which are Chicken and broccoli with brown and red rice, and chickpeas, red and yellow bell peppers fusilli, and says: |
| Nutrient: | Ensure adequate iron intake for better health |
