When you get too low on iron, it results in a type of anemia -- your red blood cells get smaller and carry less hemoglobin, so less oxygen gets delivered throughout the rest of your body.
Your body doesn’t absorb iron from vegetables as easily as it does from animal protein like fish, chicken, and meat.
That’s why vegetarians or vegans should almost double the daily iron amount that doctors recommend for meat eaters. That’s 14 mg for men, and 32 mg for women age 19-50. You can do it if you eat a varied diet and get plenty of vitamin C , which helps your body absorb the iron.
