In some cases low red blood count is due to the stress of exercise or the activity. Stress causes the immune system to be depleted by some 15% to 25% and the red blood cells have the physiology in getting oxygen to all the cells in the body. Oxygen feed cels and keeps the body in an alkaline state. When the system goes into acid state the immune system becomes sluggish. Eating more green vegetables, more antioxidants and taking substance that will enhance the immune system may assist with the low red blood cell coutn. JB, Certified Nutritionist
