If there is lack of blood in the body, the whole body gradually starts becoming weak. Fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath and loss of life in the veins – all these indicate that the blood has become weak. The biggest reason behind this is Iron deficiency. Iron helps in making hemoglobin, which works to deliver oxygen to every part of the body. When there is iron deficiency, the blood becomes weak and “watery”.

Why does blood become weak due to iron deficiency?

Due to iron deficiency, the body is not able to produce enough hemoglobin. Due to this, the amount of oxygen in the blood decreases and the right amount of energy does not reach the muscles and nerves. Due to this, the person gets tired quickly and feels weakness in the nerves.

Main symptoms of iron deficiency

• feeling tired and weak all the time
• dizziness or headache
• breathlessness
• yellowing of face and lips
• cold hands and feet
• heart palpitations
• hair fall and weak nails

due to iron deficiency

• Wrong eating habits and lack of iron rich food
• heavy menstruation in women
• Increase in iron requirement during pregnancy
• Stomach problems due to which iron is not absorbed properly
• frequent blood loss

How to overcome iron deficiency?

Include iron rich things in your diet:

• Spinach, Fenugreek and Beetroot
• Pomegranate, Apple and Dates
• pulses and gram
• Jaggery and raisins
• Egg and liver (for non-veg eaters)

Also, taking Vitamin C rich foods like lemon, amla and orange improves iron absorption.

necessary precautions

If there is excessive weakness or hemoglobin is very low, do not take medicine without checking. It is best to take iron supplements only after getting a blood test done by a doctor. Too much iron can also be harmful for the body.

Iron deficiency takes away the strength of the blood and makes the veins lifeless. If proper eating habits and necessary tests are done in time, anemia and its problems can be avoided. Strong blood is the real identity of a healthy body.
