Should vegans be worried about the low absorption rate of non heme iron? 12:38

לפני 28 weeks12:38

12:38

Should you be worried that the iron from plant based foods isn't absorbed as well as the iron from red meat? As vegans, we're often told that we should be eating red meat because heme iron is absorbed better than non heme iron. In today's podcast episode, I talk about why the fact that we absorb iron from meat better than vegan foods isn't necessarily a good thing, and can in fact lead to serious health complications. I also explain how dietary guidelines have actually already taken the lower absorption rates into consideration, and why everyone - even omnivores - are supposed to be getting most of their iron from vegan sources! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting News!

As vegans, we're often bombarded with concerns about nutrient deficiencies, especially when it comes to vitamin B12. This essential nutrient is vital for our nerves and DNA, yet it's one of the most misunderstood elements of the vegan diet. In today's episode, I'll demystify vitamin B12 for vegans, explaining why it's crucial, particularly for our vegan kids, who don't have the nutrient stores that adults do. We'll explore how even though B12 is associated with animal sources, its origins are much more plant-based than you might think. I'll also share why supplementation is essential. But don't worry, ensuring your vegan family gets enough B12 isn't as hard as it sounds. I'll guide you through the best sources of B12, how to choose the right supplements, and simple ways to incorporate them into your family's routine. Whether you're concerned about your health, your kids' development, or just curious about vegan nutrition, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to thrive on a plant-based diet.

Got zinc? Easy steps to boost your vegan child's zinc intake on a plant based diet 13:09

Have you ever wondered if your vegan child is getting enough zinc? While zinc doesn't get as much attention as other nutrients, it's incredibly important for growing kids who eat plant-based diets. Today, we dive into why zinc is important, how much your kids need, and easy ways to include it in their meals. With the right knowledge and some simple tips, you can make sure your child's diet is rich in vegan zinc, supporting their growth, learning, and immune system. Vegan foods high in zinc are fantastic, but they also contain phytates, which can lower zinc absorption. We'll discuss how to balance these in your child's vegan diet to maximize zinc intake without missing out on the benefits of these nutritious foods. We'll explore the best plant-based sources of zinc and share some tricks to help even picky eaters enjoy them. So, let's get started on making sure our vegan kids are thriving, with plenty of zinc to support their health and development. WithExtraVeg, Gen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting News!

Are you worried your vegan kids aren't getting enough calcium without dairy in their diet? It's a common concern among vegan parents to ensure their children get all the essential nutrients for optimal health. The good news is that there's a variety of ways to include calcium in your child's vegan diet without relying on dairy products. In this episode, I'm going to discuss plant-based calcium for kids. We'll explore why calcium is so important for your little ones, not just for strong bones, but for their heart and muscles too. I'll debunk the common myth that dairy is the only source of calcium and provide you with alternative vegan calcium sources that are nutritious and kid-approved. You'll learn about the different needs of children as they grow, from toddlers to teenagers, and how you can meet these requirements with a mix of high calcium vegan foods and a balanced diet. I also share tips on choosing the right plant-based milk and other calcium-rich foods that can easily fit into your family's meals and snacks. Tune in and let's make vegan nutrition easy and delicious for our little ones! WithExtraVeg, Gen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting News! My book Super Boosted Snacks is now available!
