Notes: Spinach is a good source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C and other nutrients, and it's also low in fat and calories. However, like other plants, spinach also contains a chemical called oxalic acid, which makes it difficult for your body to absorb iron. Eating spinach with certain foods such as Oranges, Chick and tomatoes, boosts your body's ability to absorb the iron in spinach. If you're anemic or concerned about getting enough iron, plan your meals so you get more iron from spinach and other greens. Tofu is not just for vegetarians anymore! It’s a healthy choice for all! For starters, a diet that limits beef and pork proteins and emphasizes plant protein is automatically better for your health. Tofu is low in fat and calories, has zero saturated fat, cholesterol-free, rich in protein and provides bone-healthy minerals, like calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
