if you do not plan your diet properly, you could miss out on essential nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin d, iron, vitamin b12 and omega 3. A good multivitamin can meet these gaps in your diet, however there are some good vegan food sources for getting these nutrients into your diet: vegan sources of calcium and vitamin d green, leafy vegetables – such as broccoli, cabbage and okra, but not spinach (spinach does contain high levels of calcium but the body cannot digest it all), fortified unsweetened soya, rice and oat drinks, calcium-set tofu, sesame seeds and tahini, pulses, brown and white bread (in the uk, calcium is added to white and brown flour by law), dried fruit, such as raisins, prunes, figs and dried apricots.
What is omega 3, dha and epa? omega 3 is a collective name for a group of polyunsaturated fats with 3 main component parts, each of which we need for the reasons shown below: ala – benefits immune and nervous system and heart epa – helps reduce inflammation dha – aids brain development and function and what about omega 6 and omega 9 i hear you say? well, supplementation for these is not generally thought to be necessary, but you can read more about that in my faqs below. Do vegans get enough from their diet? eating a balanced plant-based diet should give you plenty of alas, but not epas and dhas (which omnivores can get from oily fish, although studies suggest many people in the west are still short of them anyway).
