According to statistics, low hemoglobin is observed in 15% of adults, mainly in women. This is largely due to the monthly renewal of the female body, which is accompanied by blood loss. But often anemia or, as it was called earlier, anemia also occurs in men.

The less saturated its color, the more prerequisites for the development of blood diseases. And vice versa. Simply put, low hemoglobin is a kind of "red" a signal that indicates the need to urgently stop and take care of your health. 

Iron People, or Why Anemia Causes Weakness

In most cases, the cause of low hemoglobin lies in the lack of iron, which is the main transporter of oxygen to the cells.

Deficiency of B vitamins can also cause anemia, as well as  the presence of diseases of the circulatory system. 

Factors that provoke the development of anemia:

  • vegetarianism;
  • blood loss;
  • diseases of the kidneys and circulatory system;
  • poor nutrition;
    • diet
  • , fasting; nicotine.
    • Mild anemia is characterized by that fatigue that cannot be overcome even after a long rest. But if its course becomes longer, and the level of hemoglobin is lower and lower, then the body loses its immunity, which makes it vulnerable to various diseases.

Common symptoms of anemia:

increased fatigue;
  • weakness, drowsiness;
  • headaches;
  • rapid heartbeat;
  • shortness of breath on exertion.
