When you don't get enough iron in your body you may get anemia, excessive menstrual bleeding, learning dissabilities, impaired immune functions, low body temperature, light headedness, dizzy spells, fatigue, weak and/or tiredness. You may also go pale in the face and need to rest more in excersise. This is because Iron is required for energy, healthy brain development and endurance because it delivers oxygen throughout the body. When you are low in iron your brain and organs are being starved of oxygen. Talk to your doctor about what's happening and they may be able to help with an iron supplement or change your diet to a more iron enriched one.
