Best Answer

Yes. Lacking of iron in diet will create a non-balance diet. Too little of iron would and might leads to iron deficiency. When iron deficiency happens, this would lead to IRON DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA.

When iron deficiency anaemia happens, you will need to take iron supplements which you can actually get it from your daily diet from food such as sardines, chicken/beef liver, tuna fish in oil, oat flakes, almond, cooked spinach, dried figs and etc..

Examples of diets that can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia include:

  • Low-fat diets. Following a low-fat diet over a long period of time may limit sources of iron from animal foods.

  • Diets high in sugars. These types of diets are often low in iron.

  • High-fibre diets. These types of diets can slow the absorption of iron.

Which is major storage form of iron in the body?

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. Hence, the body has a "buffer" against iron deficiency (if the blood has too little iron, ferritin can release more) and, to a lesser extent, iron overload (if the blood and tissues of the body have too much iron, ferritin can help to store the excess iron).
