Anemia and Vitamin Deficiency Treatment
Anemia is a condition where the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to tissues, often resulting in fatigue and weakness.
overview
The most common type is iron deficiency anemia, but other forms include those caused by vitamin B12 or folate deficiencies. These conditions can arise from poor dietary intake, malabsorption, chronic illness, or blood loss.
Symptoms of anemia and vitamin deficiencies may include tiredness, pale skin, dizziness, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, and brittle nails. B12 deficiency may also cause neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, and memory issues. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Improving the diet is a key step in treatment. For iron deficiency, foods like red meat, leafy greens, beans, and fortified cereals are recommended. Vitamin B12 is found in animal products such as eggs, dairy, and meat, while folate is abundant in dark green vegetables, legumes, and citrus fruits. Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C (like citrus or tomatoes) improves iron absorption.
