Symptoms of anemia can include:
- Fatigue
- Cold hands and feet
- Headache, dizziness or feeling of weakness
- Low blood pressure with position change from sitting to standing up
- Pale skin
- Vegetarians or other ethnic groups that lack red meat or other animal products in their diet are often diagnosed with anemia or have low iron levels
- Imbalances of vitamin B levels in the body
There are many natural methods to avoid anemia:
- Eating lentils, beans, spinach and other foods rich in iron along with a good plant digestive aid such as Advanced Digestive Enzymes will help break down the foods and extract the nutrients needed by the body
- Iron supplements are recommended for vegetarians, but it can lead to constipation
- A natural B vitamin supplement such as Advanced Active-B will help improve vitamin B levels
- Optimum levels of healthy flora such as found in Advanced ProBiotic Formula can also help produce B vitamins naturally as well as support digestion
Healthy fact: To reduce the harmful effects of anemia, avoid a high consumption of coffee and tea as they decrease iron absorption by the body. Heart burn and acid reflux issues can also decrease the body’s ability to absorb and utilize iron.
