One of the nutrients most put at risk with a vegetarian diet is iron (care pregnant or plan to be), the producer of red blood cells that keep us free of anemia. But luckily, many of the greens are rich in this mineral.
Although there are two details:
- The body more easily absorbs iron from food of plant origin.
- There are plant substances such as phytates that inhibit iron absorption, so you need to eat iron rich foods with foods rich in vitamin C and citric acid, which facilitate their use.
Among the vegetables that are richest in iron are legumes, nuts, seeds, figs, dates, prunes, eggs, carrots, peaches and tofu.
Finally, I advise that you avoid consuming tea and coffee during meals, as they decrease the absorption of iron.
