Struggling to get enough iron on a plant-based diet? 🥦💚
Keeping your iron levels in a healthy range is essential for oxygen flow, energy, and a strong immune system. Without enough iron, you may experience anemia, fatigue, or feel generally worn out.
The good news is, plenty of plant-based foods are rich in iron. Here are some great options to include in your meals:
🍄 Mushrooms
🥔 Potatoes
🥬 Kale and spinach
🥦 Asparagus and broccoli
🍠 Sweet potatoes
🫘 Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, and navy beans
🍊 Dried fruits like dates and apricots are also excellent sources of iron and make great snacks. To boost iron absorption, pair these foods with vitamin C-rich choices like oranges, bell peppers, or strawberries. This simple combo helps your body take in more of the iron you eat. 💪✨
If you’re feeling unusually tired, dizzy, or unmotivated, low iron might be a factor. Reach out to our office for guidance and personalized support! 📞💚
