Okay - so those are the fundamentals and it seems as though you deem yourself healthy. From your diet, I would assume you are vegetarian - is that correct? I am a vegetarian and here's the main thing I have to watch out for: getting enough iron. If I don't get enough iron, I am sleepy, cranky, tired-feeling, and just have a general malaise. This leads to less focus and less "patience" to deal with the mundane. Is it possible you are either anemic, borderline anemic or whether you are iron-deficient?
- kitt 17y agoAlthough iron deficiency may be a concern, a word of caution about taking too much (such as iron supplements if you (the general "you") are not a menstruating female): you can ingest too much iron. If you are low in iron, eat iron-rich foods (eggs, spinach, beans/lentils, fortified cereals), rather than take supplements. Easy non-scientific way to check if you're low: pull down your lower eyelid and check the color of your skin of the uncovered lid. A pale red suggests you should be checked for anemia.
