Are you constantly tired lately and feel like your strength is leaving you? Then there is a high possibility that you are suffering from an iron deficiency. Shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, pale skin, chest pain, weakness and fatigue are some of the symptoms of iron deficiency. In infants and children, symptoms may also include anorexia, growth retardation, and behavioral problems such as irritability or inability to concentrate.
The intense feeling of fatigue is due either to a lack of red blood cells or to a lack of hemoglobin (a protein with a high iron content) in the red blood cells, which results in not carrying the required oxygen to the cells of the body.
Iron is an essential trace element for the proper functioning of the body. It is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, since without iron oxygen cannot pass from the lungs to the tissues. Cells need oxygen to carry out their metabolic processes. This is how iron supplies us with energy.
