Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Tips for Iron Deficiency (Anemia)

Understanding Iron Deficiency Symptoms:
- Pale, yellowish skin and face due to low red blood cells and hemoglobin.
- Cold, clammy hands and feet caused by insufficient oxygen transport.
- Shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and chest pain even with mild physical effort.
- Dizziness and headaches, especially when standing up quickly.
- Brittle, breaking nails and extreme fatigue with minimal exertion.
- Tongue inflammation and pain.
- Pica: craving and eating non-food items like mud, clay, or snow.
- Enlarged spleen due to overworking to produce more red blood cells.
Diagnosis:
- Consult a doctor for:
  - Complete Blood Count (CBC) test.
  - Serum ferritin test to assess iron stores.
Dietary and Nutritional Support for Iron Deficiency:
- Support spleen health with:
  - Boiled sweet potatoes (rich in beta-carotene and vitamins).
  - Pumpkin seeds and squash seeds (high in vitamin E).
  - Zucchini (supports spleen and digestion).
- Consume iron-rich foods:
  - Red meat, poultry, fish (especially oysters).
  - Spinach (consume with lemon juice to enhance absorption and reduce oxalate effects).
  - Beetroot juice with ginger.
  - Bananas.
Iron Supplementation Guidelines:
- Treatment duration should be 3 to 6 months to replenish iron stores, not just raise hemoglobin temporarily.
- Take iron supplements with vitamin C-rich juices (guava or orange) to enhance iron absorption.
- Avoid taking iron supplements with calcium-rich foods (milk, eggs, yogurt) or calcium supplements, as calcium interferes with iron absorption.
Choosing Iron Supplements Based on Digestive Tolerance:
- For those prone to constipation:
  - Use milder iron types such as Ferro-Globin, Ferrotron, Frozavit, or Finax.
  - Manage mild constipation by drinking olive oil, country butter, or coconut butter daily on an empty stomach.
  - Eat tomatoes, drink plenty of water, walk daily, and consume soaked chia seeds.
- For those with stomach ulcers or sensitive stomachs:
  - Use iron supplements containing lactoferrin (e.g., sachets like Bravotin, Mixolon, Actimo).
  - Lactoferrin boosts immunity and improves iron absorption.
  - Dosage depends on severity: 200 mg sachets for severe deficiency, 100 mg for mild/moderate.
  - Take with vitamin C juice and continue for 2-3 months.
Lifestyle Tips to Support Iron Absorption and Reduce Symptoms:
- Maintain hydration.
- Engage in regular light exercise such as walking.
- Monitor symptoms and follow up with healthcare providers.
