If you are a vegetarian, to maintain optimal health and energy, please remember to get enough of the following nutrients:
Calcium, iron, protein, vitamin d, vitamin b12, and DHA.
What should you be eating to absorb these nutrients you ask? Easy⎯use some of the following information to guide you.
Remember to eat the colors in a rainbow. Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in color, eat grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and foods high in omega 3 fatty acids (DHA). Examples of foods with these nutrients include:
Calcium: sesame seeds, collard greens, spinach, and beet greens.

This is only a short list of foods that offer the nutrients mentioned. Of course one needs to incorporate fruits and vegetables - the foods mentioned are merely examples of foods dense in the necessary nutrients. One can also consider making herbal vinegars and drinking herbal infusions for added nutrient benefits. If you want to know about herbal vinegars and herbal infusions shoot me an email.
