ADVICE

Choose Conscious Consistency

  • Focus on balance and conscious choices rather than perfection; veganism often extends into a broader ethical lifestyle. Prioritize being informed and making small daily changes.
ADVICE

Combine Iron With Vitamin C

  • Pair plant-based iron sources with vitamin C to improve absorption and avoid deficiency. Eat beans, dark greens and citrus together to maintain healthy iron levels.
ADVICE

Cover Calcium And Vitamin D

  • Ensure vegans get enough calcium and vitamin D via leafy greens, fortified tofu/soy milk, and supplements if needed. Take D3 especially in winter or if you avoid sun exposure.
