Anemia is caused by a deficiency of Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a pigment made up of protein and iron. Hemoglobin’s main job is to pick up oxygen from the lungs and deposit into the red blood cells, which in turn carries the oxygen throughout the body. Without Protein and Iron you have a loss of Hemoglobin, which means you have a lost of oxygen for the red blood cells. Anemia cab be caused by poor blood formation, the detruction of cells, or by too much loss of blood. And these conditions in turn may be caused by many different body disorders. So, when a doctor treats ‘anemia’, he has to know exactly which type he’s dealing with. One form of anemia, for example, can be caused by an injury that results in great loss of blood. Other body fluids seep into the blood to make up the volume, the blood is diluted and the result may be anemia. Another type pf anemia is caused by an increased destruction of red blood cells, which can be the result of several conditions in the body. In some cases it may be inherited or it may come from a transfusion of blood of the improper type, severe burns, allergies, or leukemia. Sometimes red blood cells are destroyed quickly by diseases that may be inherited like sickle cell anemia, abnormal spleen functions and severe hypertension. One kind of anemia many of us know about is nutritional anemia. When people do not eat enough meats and vegetables they become anemic. When blood cells can not be made at all there is a large deficiency of the proper vitamins needed. The main causes of this in not enough vitamin B12. There are problems that may cause the intestine not to absorb vitamins. When this happens, the person is most likely to become anemic. Malnutrition and drug and alcohol abuse takes a lot of vitamins and minerals from the body that is much needed. The body uses it’s stored supply, due to no new vitamins or minerals are entering the system. There is a type of anemia that can be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals or radiation, which is called Aplastic Anemia. Anemia can be extremely deadly. So take care of your body and give it what it needs to survive. Eat plenty of meats, dried beans, breads, citrus fruits and green vegetables to prevent future problems. The symptoms of anemia are generally paleness, weakness, a tendency to tire easily, faintness, and difficulty in breathing. If the patient is able to get enough rest and diet, he is usually able to recover quite rapidly.
