Anemia
is a body condition characterized by low-level of hemoglobin in the red
blood cells. Iron-deficiency anemia occurs when your body does not have
enough iron and since iron is responsible for producing hemoglobin, the
rest of your body will not be able to get the required oxygen for daily
activities.
There are many signs to suggests that you have an
iron-deficiency anemia; shortness of breath, general fatigue, pale skin,
dizziness, cold hands and feet, headaches, tingling feeling in the
legs, just to mention a few. Many people may not be aware of this
condition until they actually go for a medical test.
Causes
If
you consume too little iron over a long period of time, it may lead to a
deficiency in your body. Menstruating and pregnant women are also at a
high risk of shortage due to blood loss during menstruation and
childbirth. Internal bleeding caused by stomach ulcer, polyps in colon
or intestines, regular intake of pain relievers like aspirin, can also
put you at risk. Some disorders or surgeries that affect the intestines
can be a source of interference with the ability of your body to absorb
iron.
Treatment
There are many treatment options available
for iron-deficiency anemia. You can take iron supplements and if
possible, you can take them on an empty stomach so that they can be
easily absorbed by the body. There may also be need for you to take them
for a long period of time depending on your level of deficiency.
Furthermore,
you should ensure that your diet is rich in iron. Foods like red meat,
nuts, dark green leafy vegetables, cereals, dried fruits, etc., can be
of great help. You should also take citrus fruits because they are rich
in vitamin C which helps your body to absorb iron. If excessive bleeding
is the cause of the deficiency, you will need to consult a competent
medical practitioner in order to help you stop the bleeding. Blood
transfusion is also an option if there is an urgent need to boost the
iron level.
Prevention
You can prevent iron-deficiency
anemia by eating foods rich in iron and vitamin C. Mothers should give
breast milk to their children and, if possible, infant formula fortified
with iron. Foods rich in iron include meat, like pork, chicken, lamb
and beef, beans, pumpkin and squash seeds, eggs, seafood, such as clams,
sardines, shrimp and oysters, iron-fortified dry and instant cereals,
leafy greens, such as spinach raisins and other dried fruit.
