Health Tip of the

What is Iron Deficiency
Anemia?
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough iron.
Iron is important because it helps you get enough oxygen throughout your body.
Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a part of your red blood
cells and carries oxygen through your body. If you don't have enough iron, your
body makes fewer and smaller red blood cells and if your body has less
hemoglobin you can't get enough oxygen.
You may not notice the symptoms of anemia, because it develops slowly and
the symptoms may be mild. In fact you may not notice them until your anemia
gets worse. Symptoms in adults include: Feeling dizzy, weak and tire more
easily; being grumpy or cranky; have headaches, looking very pale; shortness of
breath and having trouble concentrating.
If you think you have anemia, see your physician and don't try to treat
yourself as it may be caused by a serious problem. If it is recommended that
you take iron pills, make sure you don't take them with milk, caffeine, foods
with high fiber or antacids. You can prevent anemia by eating foods that
contain iron every day. Iron-rich foods include meats, vegetables, and whole
grains such as iron-fortified cereals.
