FW: ashtanga yoga Books on proper Diet for College student

[Guest guest]

Congratulations on changing to a vegetarian diet. I think that as one

progresses on the spiritual path the practice of Ahimsa becomes

impossible to ignore. As well you will find that you simply feel better

eating this way.

 

While it might be a bit difficult at time to maintain it eating

cafeteria style, it is not impossible. Seeing a nutritionist (someone

with a B,Sc. Or Masters degree in nutrition) is a great idea. She can

assess your intake to make sure that you are obtaining the necessary

nutrients, suggest supplements where necessary and even give you

practical tips on how to maintain your diet at school. She can also

recommend literature on the topic.

 

Some schools provide nutritional counselling through student health

services.

 

I was nutritionist years ago and while my knowledge is a bit rusty now,

I do remember that having citrus fruit or juice with meals enhances the

absorption of iron. I am guessing that you are on iron supplements

because of the anaemia.

 

Namaste,

Barbara
