Okay, so if you are eating lots of veggies and fruits, what about protein and calcium? Where do you get those? This is probably the main question that every vegetarian is asked. These fear is from lack of education and false messages sent out by advertisers. We are conditioned to believe that if we don't get enough milk and steak or chicken, we'll end up very weak and shrivel up and die. Wrong!
We can get all the protein we need from plant-based foods. Dark leafy greens in particulare are a terrific source of protein; they're also very high in iron and calcium. Broccoli, sesame seeds, almonds, and seaweed are other fantastic and absorbable sources of calcium.
In fact, studies by American Heart Association have shown that vegetarians absorb and retain more calcium from foods than non-vegetarians.
