Because Belinda doesn't care for meat and rarely eats it there is a big probability that she will have iron deficite if she doesn't
And iron is very important. It is an essential component of hemoglobin, an erythrocyte protein that transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
Nonheme iron is the iron found in the plants and heme is found in animal based food (meat, seafood,..).
10% of dietary iron is absorbed from vegetarian diets.
In order not to get iron deficiency Belinda (and still does not care about meat) should include in her diet nuts, beans, vegetables, and fortified grain products
