Vegetarian diets can be healthy because they are normally lower in saturated fats and high in fibre. However the any diet has to be carefully chosen to make sure that it contains all the nutrients needed by your body. Vegetarian diets can easily provide the recommended daily amount of all the important nutrients. Plants, notably, fruit and vegetables, are normally the main source of nutrients in vegetarian diets.

Nutrients that are normally present in animal products and sometimes lacking in a vegetarian diet are iron, calcium, vitamins D and B12, and zinc.
Below are just some of the foods that are rich in the above nutrients :
