Vegetarian women often struggle with iron deficiency due to plant-based diets high in fiber and phytates, which inhibit absorption. But timing and pairing matter. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods (like citrus with lentils) enhances iron uptake, while tea and coffee should be spaced at least 1–2 hours away. Smart plate design balances iron-rich legumes, fortified grains, and leafy greens with absorption boosters. A “colorful plate” rule—pairing beans with bright vegetables—provides both micronutrients and absorption synergy. With intentional planning, vegetarian women can thrive without compromising fiber intake or falling into iron deficiency.
