What are the vegan solutions to iron anemia & protein deficiencies
Why do you think being vegan automatically means you have iron and protein deficiencies?
When I was growing up I ate meat.
I was always ill.
I had stomach problems, I was covered in eczema and various other health issues including anaemia on a regular basis.
Went vegetarian in my 20s
Overnight my stomach issues cleared up. I had more energy even my eczema cleared up apart from a few patches.
Gave up dairy in my 40s and my skin cleared completely.
Don’t like eggs so rarely eat them.
Since I became vegetarian I have never had anaemia.
Although I now don’t eat dairy I have never had any deficiencies in Vitamin B12 or any other vitamin or mineral.
I don’t see the why being Vegan means you automatically eat Avocados, Quinoa, expensive imported produce and processed foods.
I occasionally do eat an avocado but they are quite expensive so don’t usually eat them, I don’t like Quinoa, I tend to buy what ever is in season and don’t like the processed foods especially those that are made to resemble and taste like meat.
I never liked the taste when I ate meat so do try to avoid those sort of things
Dc were brought up vegetarian (both are now vegan).
Growing up they never had D&V. They had the odd cold once per year but nothing else.
Again they never took any vitamin supplements.
Just because you are vegan doesn’t mean you are splashing the cash on expensive food.
My shopping bill (I go twice per week because I have a small kitchen and fridge/freezer) is about £35 per time (Me, Dp 2xteens and 5 cats)
It would be a lot less without cat food, cat litter and a couple of meat/fish meals for Dp.
