If you have difficulty sleeping, get an unusually rapid heartbeat when exercising or you are easily fatigued then you may suffer from anemia, a disorder that affects individuals who have a lack of red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
People who suffer from anemia often have a deficiency of hemoglobin, the protein the gives the red color. However, in most cases, anemia is caused by iron deficiency. It is estimated that 1 in 10 teenage girls suffer from anemia as a result of their monthly blood loss and not eating the proper foods for building their blood.
Red Blood Cells
There are many factors which can cause anemia. Some of the most common ones include prolonged medication, menstruation, heavy metal poisoning, and poor dietary choices. In order to reintroduce iron into your system and get your red blood cells operating at full speed, you should make a few changes in your diet.
