Why You Should Take Your Blood Health Seriously

Blood plays a vital role in sustaining life as it serves as the carrier for crucial substances and nutrients required for our well-being. To ensure the blood remains in good health, it's imperative to have an adequate supply of iron.

Blood plays a vital role in sustaining life as it serves as the carrier for crucial substances  and nutrients required for our well-being. To ensure the blood remains in good health, it's  imperative to have an adequate supply of iron.

When there is a deficiency of iron in the blood, it is referred to as iron-deficiency anemia  (IDA). This condition can result in reduced productivity and may lead to complications if not  properly addressed.

More than just lata, hilo at putla: Unboxing the Complications
IDA typically manifests through prevalent signs such as paleness, fatigue and dizziness,  potentially impacting your ability to be productive. Failure to properly address Iron  Deficiency Anemia (IDA) can give rise to complications, particularly within at-risk  populations like pregnant women and immunocompromised patients. Read on to know  more about the possible complications of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).

Increased Risk of Infections
Research shows that a lack of iron may negatively affect your immune system – the body's  natural defense system. If your immune system is low, your body may be more vulnerable  to various infections.

Heart and Lung Problems
Adults with severe Iron Deficiency Anemia may develop tachycardia, where the heart beats  faster than normal, or heart failure, which happens when the heart doesn’t pump enough  blood at the right pressure. Insufficient oxygen in the blood due to IDA can also result in a  feeling of breathlessness, especially during physical activity. This occurs because the body  struggles to provide enough oxygen to the muscles and organs, including the respiratory  muscles. IDA can weaken the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to  respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, which can affect the lungs.

Pregnancy Complications
Lack of iron in pregnant women may increase the risk of complications during and after  birth, including postnatal depression.

Studies also show that babies born to moms with "low blood" symptoms may have:

  • premature birth
  • low birth weight
  • low iron levels
  • difficulty in mental ability tests

Restless Leg Syndrome

A common condition that affects the nervous system, and causes uncontrolled leg  movements, and uneasiness in the thighs, calves, and feet. 

Take care of your blood health seriously by managing Iron deficiency and other anemias.  Ask your doctor about the most doctor-prescribed among branded iron supplements: Iron +  Pyridoxine (Vit B6) + Cyanocobalamin (Vit B12)+ Folic Acid (HEMARATE FA), the Blood  Vitamin. With proper diet and exercise, it helps promote red blood cell production and  reduces the risk of iron deficiency anemia, helping you manage the risk of complications.  That's how you can stay on top of anemia symptoms.
