- Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional cause of anaemia.
- Anaemia is a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin, which are crucial for carrying oxygen to the body's tissues.
- Iron is a vital component of hemoglobin, and its deficiency leads to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
- Common symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath.
- Dietary sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, lentils, beans, and iron-fortified cereals.
Additional Information
- Anaemia can also be caused by other factors such as vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, chronic diseases, and genetic disorders.
- Regular screening and blood tests can help in early detection and management of anaemia.
- Iron supplements and dietary modifications are common treatments for iron deficiency anaemia.
- In severe cases, medical interventions such as intravenous iron therapy or blood transfusions may be necessary.
