I have a short attention span sometimes. I'm wondering if it's the natural sugars in fruit doing it. I read 25 pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel last night but for me that's a really long haul. On average I only manage a short chapter or two a day at the most.
I've no idea about whether its the sugars or not. I usually manage a banana each day, but other than that I don't eat any fruit or vegetables. I have a terrible attention span a lot of the time. I would love to read books but I just can't. If I'm relaxed I can read in the bath where there's no distractions, but I have to read the first few pages quite a few times. It's really frustrating.
What's the rest of your diet like?
I don't eat meat or dairy, and pretty much just eat cereal, potatoes, toast, pasta, and eggs.
I will look into this!
If you soak rice in water in a sealed container, on the worktop (in a warm environment), overnight, the rice ferments and the amount of iron in it increases.

In a test after 12 hours of fermentation of 100 grams of rice, the availability of iron changed from 3.4 mg to 73.91mg.
My blood tests came back ok, they get done fairly regularly. my iron is always low, even on iron pills it doesn't raise. i'm going to ask for another b12 check next month. I eat 2 or 3 eggs a day.
If you don't eat fish (as well as meat) you may not be getting enough Vitamin B12. Though that depends on how many eggs you're eating as they contain a reasonable amount of it. Seaweed is a good vegan source of B12. You can buy a salt mixed with seaweed to use as a seasoning.
