These uncomfortable symptoms may indicate a more serious medical condition, like <strong>Anemia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anemia<\/strong> is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body&#8217;s tissues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anemia has many forms, and each type has telltale symptoms. Some common types of anemia include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Iron deficiency anemia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Aplastic anemia<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hemolytic anemia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The human body requires iron to produce hemoglobin\u2014<strong>insufficient iron = insufficient hemoglobin<\/strong>, which makes it harder to move oxygenated blood efficiently throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If not treated promptly, <strong>anemia can lead to serious health complications<\/strong> that affect heart health and overall organ function.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are women more anemic than Men?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Sonal Mhatre, BHMS, Senior Manager \u2013 Clinical Operations,<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/livlong365.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>LivLong365<\/strong><\/a> <strong>explains:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An interesting fact to know is that in India, according to the national data from the <strong>National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5)<\/strong>, <strong>57% of women<\/strong> (aged 15\u201349) are affected by anemia, compared to <strong>25% of men<\/strong> in the same age group, creating a prevalence ratio of roughly <strong>2.3 to 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In women, <strong>heavy menstrual periods<\/strong> cause depletion of essential red blood cells; this puts women at greater risk of developing anemia. Further, during <strong>pregnancy<\/strong>, women are at higher risk as their bodies require more iron than normal to support their bodies and their baby\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Good News!<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that <strong>anemia can be reversed<\/strong>. Here are five things you can do to fix Anemia:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure you have an <strong>iron-rich diet<\/strong>, like green leafy vegetables, fish, AND eggs.<\/li>\n<li>Snack on <strong>raisins, prunes, dates, and dried apricots<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Increase your intake of <strong>Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C<\/strong>, as they help improve iron absorption.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid drinking beverages like <strong>tea or coffee<\/strong>, or eating <strong>high-calcium foods<\/strong>, right before or after iron-rich meals, as they block iron absorption.<\/li>\n<li>Do <strong>routine blood tests<\/strong> if you feel constant fatigue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>CBC test<\/strong> can help doctors detect anemia. Treatment varies by type, but it may include <strong>dietary changes, supplements, medications, blood transfusions, and further management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In a nutshell,<\/strong> remember: consistency is key, and these dietary changes can positively impact your overall well-being. Consult your <strong>doctor<\/strong> to check for anemia if you&#8217;re tired or short of breath and don&#8217;t know why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.
