What are the signs and symptoms of anemia and iron deficiency What is the root cause?
Here are some things that may cause you to have an iron deficiency or anemia: Diet: Consuming a lot of low iron foods or not being able to properly absorb the iron from the foods you eat can lead to anemia or an iron deficiency. It's worth pointing out that plant-based forms of iron are not as well absorbed as animal forms; therefore, vegans and vegetarians are particularly susceptible to deficiency. Poor absorption: Some digestive conditions, including celiac disease, can reduce your body's ability to absorb iron from food. Iron is absorbed in your small intestine, which is where your body will become damaged as a result of celiac disease. Increased demand for iron: Menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and/or rapid growth in children can increase the body's demand for iron. Athletes are also at a greater risk of developing iron deficiency.
