What is Anemia?
Anemia is a disease whereby the body lacks the ability to produce the proper amount of hemoglobin, or red blood cells. Red blood cells are a major component of your body’s blood system, because these are responsible for transporting oxygen from one cell to another. Possession of red blood cells means your body must work harder to obtain and transport the necessary oxygen to organs and tissues. That is why because of the extra effort, you will probably feel more irritable and tired.
