Great info, good to remember that Vitamin C increases iron absorption! I'd like to add that coffee and tea inhibit iron absorption. Years ago I was turned away from donating blood a few times due to low iron, but when I stopped having green tea with my cereal in the morning and instead added strawberries to that cereal, my iron levels really improved. Now I don't have coffee or tea within 15-20 minutes of meals.

1000% agreed, i just had bloodwork done and was surprised to see how well im doing with these nutrients that meat eaters always tout to be impossible for vegans to achieve, and i dont take supplements

@calisongbird 9 күн бұрын

@@ViCT0RiA6it’s actually harder for vegans to get enough “absorbable” iron. It’s not how much you eat - it’s how much your body absorbs. Heme iron from meat is better absorbed than non-heme iron from plant foods. This is why many (not all) vegans need to supplement. Testing for iron levels is key. Just because you personally don’t have this issue doesn’t mean it’s not a common one.

@ViCT0RiA6 9 күн бұрын

@calisongbird original comment discusses how varied plant based healthy diet can provide majority of these essential nutrients, the evidence is shown even in this video with exact measurements. Also people with iron absorption issues have issues absorbing it from both plant and animal based foods.... the properties that make heme iron 'more digestible' are fractional improvements in its bioavailability especially in these individuals, just an FYI.

@fuzzles93 11 күн бұрын

Just a note for anyone out there who does experience low iron it might just be your body not able to absorb it affectingly so even if you did make sure all the things you were eating are great and not taking iron with calcium but instead with vit c and not having caffeine within 1 hour of iron foods you still might need a supplement and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Its not a clear cut way to get iron because it depends on if your body is working well to absorb it or not

I've been vegan for over 28 years. The only thing I am deficient in is iron. I've had iron deficiency anaemia before I was vegan and that is the only supplement I take ( vit D3 too as I live in Canada). Protein was very easy to incorporate but no matter how much iron I consume it was never enough without supplementation. I'm hoping when that beautiful moon cycle women are cursed with goes away that I will not need the supplementation 😂 I eat Kasha which is Eastern European and high in iron or I also eat baby cereal as it is even higher and I consume it for breakfast that one week every month... 😆. There is a legume that is higher in iron than lentils. The French use it in their signature cassoulet dishes. Not sure if it is easy to find in the States. I live in Quebec and you can find it here easily but they are the most expensive legumes. One tiny bag is well over 20$. It is imported from France.

Have u tried Blackstrap molasses with lemon daily?

@dolcemaddalena 21 күн бұрын

@@YodiJohsonna No actually. I do use molasses and at times crave ginger molasses cookies for a sweet treat and I use it sometimes as a substitute for maple syrup. I know molasses is high in iron too. Do you mix it with hot water and lemon? How much do you put it for each glass?

@YodiJohsonna 21 күн бұрын

@dolcemaddalena yes! It's said to be a great way to raise iron levels! You just take 8-16oz of warm water and 1 tbsp of black strap molasses and then add the juice of half or 1 lemon...mix and drink. You can do this up to 2x per day. The lemon helps boost the uptake of the iron in the molasses so it's something you want to add each time.

After a multitude of symptoms I was suffering w/that I couldn't explain (and thanks to the r/anemic thread) got some bloodwork done in March & found out my ferritin was at a whopping 8. I just completed my last weekly infusions a wk ago and really don't want to have to have anymore in future. As a vegan female who gets a cycle every month, this video is a blessing!

@rowanscmorien4761 3 күн бұрын

Nice video. I love your recipes. I just want to highlight that I think you got an incorrect value for iron content of oatmeal. Oats are a good source of iron (most grains are which is good), but I've seen values around 4.5 and 4.7mg of iron for 100g of oats. Not the 13mg you mention (I know it was per cup, but I don't think a cup more than a 100g, and certainly not more than 300g). Nothing wrong with good old oatmeal, I eat it almost every day, I'm just a pendant who wants everyone to have good accurate info.

How do you get adequate protein without tofu (can't eat soy) or tempe (no gluten). Thanks for sharing!

@emeliamoore9467 20 күн бұрын

lentils, any beans, quinoa, nuts, peanut butter, clean protein powders, hemp seeds (I put 2 tablespoons in my chia pudding in the morning with flax and peanut butter). I will make a pot of lentils and quinoa every week and I know I have a quick meal with high protein and iron. I've been vegan since 2003, over 20 years. I have low iron, but had that before going vegan. I take floravital iron tablets from Germany and they don't cause any side effects.
