Nature has enough variety to get essential nutrients from a plant based diet too.Vegetarian balanced diet is good enough for all kids and elders.It is also easier to digest.

Eating lentils is a great way of having your proteins and Iron.
Just remember to add a dash of lime juice on top.This is full of vitamin C.
Hence, helps absorb Iron in lentils easily.
If you are vegan, temper the dal in olive oil or coconut oil.If vegetarian,good old ghee or clarified butter works fine.Avoid heeng or asafoetida if going gluten-free.
