| If you're a vegetarian,
or just don't like the taste of meat, it's important to know to add
certain nutritional values to your diet, or you may end up being
malnourished in some way. So, to keep your body and mind healthy, check
that your daily intake covers them all! |

Calcium
Calcium, as you probably
know, helps build bones and teeth (which are also bones) as well as
helping the neurons in your body to transfer messages to the muscles.
Fish are an excellent source of calcium, but if you're vegetarians, you
can get this essential mineral from dairy products, enriched soy
products, nuts, legumes and green vegetables, broccoli, okra and cabbage.
Iodine
Iodine is essential for your
metabolism, as in converting material into energy, as well as the
normal functioning of the thyroid gland. It is usually found in sea
fruit and so many vegetarians suffer a lack. Vegetarian sources include
cooking salt, table salt and enriched dairy products.
