~Anemia~Iron deficiency and B-12-folic acid deficiency are one of most common causes of anemia. This disorder reduces amount of oxygen available to cells of body. Many people with anemia experience a lack of energy, concentration and dizziness, because it impairs formation of red blood cells that may be caused by insufficient iron intake and absorption, or by a significant loss of blood. This may be seen in women who experience heavy menstrual cycles. There may be hormonal imbalances, fibroids or even cancer due to blood loss, so it's important to see a doctor to rule out these conditions. Children have a higher percentage of iron deficiency, which can bee seen by a lack of energy, poor concentration, loss of appetite, headaches and irritability. Pale lips and eyelids and brittle nails may be indications in those who are anemic. Another form of anemia is called Pernacious Anemia. This is a severe disorder due to lack of vitamin B-12, in which people can't absorb any form of B-12 in gastrointestinal tract. This type of anemia seems to be hereditary and affects nervous system as well as digestive system.
