IRON-DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
Our bodies need iron to make hemoglobin which works in red blood cells to make oxygen.
Iron deficiency anemia, a condition in which the red blood cells that carry oxygen to tissues are unable to do so effectively, is caused when there is too little iron.
The National Institutes of Health wrote, "Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. Approximately 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men are iron deficient…
Iron is normally obtained through the food in your diet and by recycling iron from old red blood cells. Without it, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively - and oxygen is needed for the normal functioning of every cell in the body."
So what causes iron deficiency? There are a number of reasons, next I will give the most common ones.
After a year and a half of retirement, the focus on what is important and what is not, is becoming much clearer as time passes by. At this point in time they are, keeping healthy, both in mind and body and being wise in our investments, so we can get a return and hopefully be able a little more comfortable in our later life.
