What does anemia mean

Anemia is a kind of disease caused by various reasons. The patient's peripheral red blood cells are reduced and the volume of red blood cells is lower than the normal range. Anemia is divided into several different conditions, one of which is iron deficiency anemia. The so-called iron deficiency anemia is that there is too little iron in red blood cells, which is also the most common kind of anemia. To prevent iron deficiency anemia, first of all, patients should pay attention to diet, and eat red meat, liver, egg yolks and other foods rich in iron. If the intake of iron in the diet is insufficient or serious, iron must be supplemented. Vitamin C can help absorb iron and produce heme, so the intake of vitamin C should be sufficient. Patients should pay attention to that milk and some drugs neutralizing stomach acid will block the absorption of iron, so try not to take it with iron containing food.
