What's a good source of Iron if you're a Vegetarian?!
Answers:
Iron rich foods are
Bran flakes, oatmeal, cream of wheat, wheat germ!.
Sea vegetables, swiss chard, turnip greens, spinach, prune juice, potato
Lentils, black eye beans, navy beans, pinto beans, lima beans, kidney beans, chick beans (this list is quite high)
Tofu, soybeans, tempeh
Pumpkin seeds, dried figs
To help you absorb the iron, eat something with vitamin C, like tomatoes, citrus, red pepper, etc!.
also, if you are taking iron supplements, be careful of the cheap ferrous sulfate, as it depletes vitamin E from your system and has a tendency to bind you up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarian Resource Group (www!.vrg!.org) has a list of iron-rich foods, but it really amounts to beans and greens!. Remember to eat vitamin C-rich foods with your iron sources to increase absorption!. I've been vegan for almost 7 years and I don't have a problem with hemoglobin levels; I was able to donate blood recently!.
Don't forget about B12 supplements!. While a multivitamin isn't bad, you might also want to eat foods fortified with it; get a sublingual or spray form; or try B-Fresh gum and mints, which have B12!. I see them at my local Vitamin Shoppes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

leafy greens are a great source of iron!. the deeper the color, the higher the iron content!.
