When to wear sunglasses?
Given your advice to get morning and late afternoon sunlight, what are the situations and times of day to wear sunglasses vs. getting light directly in your eyes? Optometrists often recommend wearing sunglasses anytime in bright sunlight, but there seems to be some nuances with your recommendations on this point. Thank you!
Iron deficiency and absorption
Would love to know more about iron and ferritin in general. What are the recommended levels, how do different foods interact (for example coffee causes less iron absorption, but what is the best length of time to wait after a meal to consume coffee, for example), and advice for people who consume a plant based diet (recently have been reading about oxalates but unsure how to properly eat veggies given my concern about iron - spinach was my main source of greens but now I have cut it completely and hoping that will help my iron levels). For iron deficiency, is there a recommended way to supplement iron to raise low ferritin levels? And more importantly, how to maintain the adequate levels after one is no longer deficient? Last year my ferritin was very low, so I made some diets changes and also supplemented iron for a few months, but this year my ferritin is even lower than before. My doctor didn't give me much useful information or advice unfortunately :/ Now I've read about how B vitamins are related to iron absorption and am currently supplementing iron and methyl folate (already have been taking B12 for years as I'm vegan). Thank you!
