OT not recipe : Newbie topic Anemic and iron or protein

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am still trying to learn and I was confused when I read a post

awhile back about being anemic and blaming it on not getting enough

protein from meat. I have had so much information coming at me I hope

I haven't confused this topic.

 

So as a newbie I am going to ask a question.

 

I thought Anemia was iron deficiency,not a protein deficiency?

 

And you can get iron from:

Brown rice

Whole wheat bread

Wheat germ

Oatmeal

Cream of Wheat

Sunflower seeds

Kidney beans

Chickpeas

Broccoli

Lima beans

Beets

Peas

Potato

Vegetables, green leafy

Blackstrap Molasses, one tablespoon

Dates or Prunes

 

Thanks for all the recipes it has made it so much easier on DH since

he really doesn't want to be a vegetarian but the recipes have been so

good he is happy. And he looks through them for things he wants to

try, which is a good thing.

 

thanks,

penni

I believe the popular thought is that meat is high in iron and if you don't

eat enough meat you will become anemic. That is what the Dr. told my mother

anyway. It is not true.
