Do you have an iron deficiency? 3 symptoms that indicate it

Iron deficiency is a very common condition, caused by low levels of iron in the blood, usually due to blood loss eg. during a woman's reproductive age due to menstruation or due to increased needs during pregnancy. 

For this reason, the most frequent "victims" of iron deficiency anemia are women of reproductive age. In any case, iron deficiency is treated naturally through diet, consumption of foods rich in iron, but also with medicinal iron supplements.

The official website of the British health organization (NHS) informs that the causes of iron deficiency anemia vary. In women, heavy menstruation, which equates to heavy blood loss, or pregnancy are common reasons for iron deficiency. 

In pregnancy, the main factor leading to anemia is the diet, which is often "poor" in iron. Iron-deficient men, on the other hand, are a rarer phenomenon, most commonly attributed to conditions such as stomach ulcers, intestinal inflammation, or hemorrhoids.

Common symptoms of iron deficiency include feeling tired and lacking energy, shortness of breath and paleness.

If you want to get the most from the iron that food offers, don't skip eating green leafy vegetables, red meat, dried fruits like apricots, prunes and raisins, but also legumes./ CNA
