Hey guys. Last spring I became vegan. Is there enough iron and calcium in leafy greens and tahini and other vegetables and grains to sustain me? I just found out that I'm slightly anemic too. I'm a pretty skinny guy (always been like that), and I'm actually having some joint problems. I'm considering going back to eating meat again to see if it will help with my joints. Mind you, it's more of a Rheumatoid Arthritis deal where the joint areas are swelling. No bone deterioration. It's an autoimmune disorder anyway.
Yeah, so that sucks. But the main question is whether I can get enough iron and calcium (and potassium?) from non animal products.
I also take a multivitamin daily, but it only gives me something like 10 percent calcium and 25 percent iron of my daily diet. I guess it's harder to manufacture or something.
Thanks for any advice.
