Iron Deficiency Anemia: The Cause Iron deficiency anemia is a disorder wherein the blood lacks sufficient red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissue in the body. Your blood then gives your body energy and a healthy glow. Many people who are iron deficient look pale and sickly. This blood disorder is due to lack of iron in the diet. Hemoglobin is made of iron. Without iron, hemoglobin, found in red blood cells, cannot enable the cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Studies show that women consistently are more susceptible to iron deficiency anemia, especially pubescent girls and pregnant women. The reason pubescent girls tend to be susceptible to iron deficiency anemia is because when they menstruate, they lose blood and the iron needs to be replaced. A study conducted by Dr. Michael Sharon, author of Nutrients A-Z noted that during a woman’s ... more
