Anemia




What is anemia?

Anemia is a condition that occurs when the amount of hemoglobin in the blood is reduced or when the hemoglobin has undergone some alteration (e.g. in sickle cell anemia the hemoglobin has an abnormal shape, which is due to an inherited mutation) .
 

What is the role of hemoglobin?

Hemoglobin is a protein of red blood cells (also called erythrocytes) which contains iron. The main role of hemoglobin is to bind oxygen from the lungs to the blood and then release it to the tissues. Iron, as a part of hemoglobin, contributes significantly to the binding of oxygen to the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin then carries the carbon dioxide (produced as a waste product of respiration) to the lungs to be exhaled.

What are the symptoms of anemia?

If you're often tired, even if you've slept well or don't have the energy for your usual activities, you may have anemia. Symptoms may include:
  • Easy fatigue
  • Shortness of breath, especially in people with respiratory failure or smokers
  • Tachycardia
  • Headache (especially in the frontal region)
  • Tinnitus
  • Anorexia and intestinal disorders
  • The skin acquires a pallor (yellowing
  • Dizziness which can reach fainting

What is the cause?

The most common cause of anemia is a lack of iron in the diet or when the small intestine is unable to absorb enough iron. Iron deficiency prevents the formation of sufficient hemoglobin in the bone marrow for red blood cells. This results in the erythrocytes produced being small and having a reduced oxygen carrying capacity (capacity). This case is called iron deficiency anemia.

Treatment

The treatment of anemia depends on its cause. For example, treatment for sickle cell anemia is different from treatment for anemia caused by low iron or folic acid intake. Treatment may include changes in the foods we eat, taking nutritional supplements (vitamins or iron pills), changing medications, or in more severe forms of anemia even medical procedures. After treating the cause of the anemia (if it does not it is only an eating disorder) an increased intake of iron through food or with the use of a medicinal preparation is recommended.

Iron-rich foods

Red meat and mainly liver as well as legumes.

The absorption of iron from animal foods is 25%, while from vegetable foods only 6%, the exception is vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts where the absorption of iron can reach 25%.

Absorption of plant-based iron is reduced when combined with coffee, tea, colas, chocolate, red wine, milk, cheese, yogurt, calcium supplements, whole grains (due to fiber). Conversely, vitamin C helps iron to be absorbed. Vitamin C is of great importance since a natural orange juice can double or even triple the absorption of iron.

At Solgar, Health Aid, Lamberts, Now Foods, Quest, WinMedica and Natures Plus you can find a wide range of highly absorbable iron supplements in drops, tablets  and effervescent tablets, to cover the body's needs.
