That’s an interesting topic! Recent studies have indeed been focusing on the relationship between iron levels and plant-based foods. Plant-based diets can be a healthy choice, but they often contain non-heme iron, which is less easily absorbed by the body compared to the heme iron found in animal products.
Incorporating vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits and bell peppers, can enhance iron absorption from plant sources. Additionally, foods like lentils, quinoa, spinach, and fortified cereals are excellent plant-based iron options. It’s crucial for people following a plant-based diet to be aware of their iron intake and consider having their levels checked regularly.
