A person becomes anaemic with insufficient iron in their diet because iron is a crucial component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When dietary iron is lacking, the body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. This deficiency can cause symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. Over time, if not addressed, it can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia, which may require dietary changes or supplements to correct.
