Plant-Powered People: Don't Forget the Iron!
Living the plant-based life? Awesome! But there's one nutrient you gotta keep an eye on: IRON!

Iron is crucial for carrying oxygen throughout your body, giving you energy and keeping you feeling strong. While meat is a classic source, there are plenty of iron-rich options for plant-based peeps too! Think leafy greens like kale and spinach, lentils, beans, tofu, and even fortified cereals.

Here's why iron matters for plant-based folks:

Hidden Depleters: Coffee, tea, and some plant compounds can actually inhibit iron absorption.
