Because iron is necesary in the production of red blood cells. Since its job is pretty much to bond with oxygen and take it to its place the cells are only produced at the rate that the iron allows it to. Low iron=low Blood cell Count=anemia. Iron can be found in spinach, beef, peanutbutter, iron pills...ect

Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. An important constituent of haemoglobin is iron. If you don't have enough iron in your diet your body can't make enough haemoglobin and red blood cells
