Anemia can be a very serious issue and is extremely common here in the United States. This issue can lead to things like fatigue and organ failure if not properly dealt with.
The most common type of anemia is caused by iron deficiency and generally, our diet is to blame for this. The causes for anemia can vary the type of anemia a person has, for instance, you could become anemic from heavy metal poisoning, poor nutrition (as mentioned above), prolonged medication, and even your menstrual cycle. Symptoms can include things like dizziness, weakness, fatigue, weak hair, weak nails, and even heart palpitations.
Luckily before the issue becomes too extreme we can fix it. Reversing anemia is something that requires just a few dietary changes. Beetroot is one of the best sources of iron so if you aren’t eating any you need to add it to your diet. If you combine beets with carrots you’re in for something special. This will boost your body’s absorption of iron. If you are anemic these drinks will help you tremendously.
