3. Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough
healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen
to your body's tissues.
Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, an
erythrocyte (red blood cell) protein that transfers
oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
A condition of too little iron in the body.
A condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy
red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to
the body's tissues. As the name implies, iron
deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron.

6. Physiological Changes in Iron Deficiency Anemia
The physiologicalconsequencesinclude fatigue, lethargy, and
dyspnea;conversely, iron repletionin iron-deficientindividualshas
been shown to improve exercise capacity. The myocardium, with its
high energydemands,is particularly at risk from the effects of iron
deficiency.
Fatigue is a feeling of constant tiredness or weakness and can be
physical, mental or a combination of both. It can affect anyone, and
most adults will experience fatigue at some point in their life.
Lethargy causes you to feel sleepy or fatigued
and sluggish. This sluggishness may be physical
or mental.
Shortness of breath in known medically as
dyspnea . It is often described as an intense tightening
in the chest, air hunger, difficulty breathing,
breathlessness or a feeling of suffocation.
7. Risk factors
These groups of people may have an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia:
Women. Because women lose blood during menstruation, women in general are at
greater risk of iron deficiency anemia.
Infants and children. Infants, especially those who were low birth weight or born
prematurely, who don't get enough iron from breast milk or formula may be at risk of
iron deficiency. Children need extra iron during growth spurts. If your child isn't eating
a healthy, varied diet, he or she may be at risk of anemia.
Vegetarians. People who don't eat meat may have a greater risk of iron deficiency
anemia if they don't eat other iron-rich foods.
Frequent blood donors. People who routinely donate blood may have an increased
risk of iron deficiency anemia since blood donation can deplete iron stores. Low
hemoglobin related to blood donation may be a temporary problem remedied by
eating more iron-rich foods. If you're told that you can't donate blood because of low
hemoglobin, ask your doctor whether you should be concerned.
8. Prevention
Choose iron-rich foods
Foods rich in iron include:
Red meat, pork and poultry
Seafood
Beans
Dark green leafy vegetables, such as
spinach
Dried fruit, such as raisins and apricots
Iron-fortified cereals, breads and pastas
Peas
Choose foods containing vitamin C to
enhance iron absorption
You can enhance your body's absorption of iron by
drinking citrus juice or eating other foods rich in
vitamin C at the same time that you eat high-iron
foods.
Vitamin C is also found in:
Broccoli
Grapefruit
Kiwi
Leafy greens
Melons
