What is Anemia? A decrease in the normal amount of hemoglobin and red blood cells circulating in the bloodstream, causing a reduction in the supply of oxygen to the tissues. Chain: Not enough iron available  hemoglobin production is limited  affects the production of red blood cells  Due to the lack of sufficient iron Therefore, the body needs more iron to make hemoglobin

Effects of Anemia - Red blood cells are needed to carry oxygen throughout the body Anemia results in less oxygen reaching the cells and tissues, affecting their function More information: -Anemia doesn't develop immediately -Person progresses through stages of iron deficiency: ~ begins with iron depletion in which the amount of iron in the body is reduced but the amount of iron in the red blood cells remains constant. ~ If iron depletion isn't corrected, it progresses to iron deficiency, leading to anemia

Diet Guide for Anemia  Increase intake of Iron - hemoglobin production will not be limited - increase production of red blood cells  Iron from Animal Sources - more easily absorbed than iron from plant foods.  Vitamin C - it increases the intake of iron  Vitamin B12 -Lack of Vitamin B12 will contribute to Anemia  Folate (water-soluble B vitamin ) -necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells
