INTRODUCTION
• Anemia is a problem of not having enough healthy red blood cells or
hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Hemoglobin is a
protein found in red cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all
other organs in the body. Having anemia can cause tiredness,
weakness and shortness of breath.
• There are many forms of anemia. Each has its own cause. Anemia can
be short term or long term. It can range from mild to severe. Anemia
can be a warning sign of serious illness.
• Treatments for anemia might involve taking supplements or having
medical procedures. Eating a healthy diet might prevent some forms of
anemia.

CONCLUSION
Nutritional-deficiency anemia is a common problem. It can occur when
the body is not absorbing enough iron, folate, or vitamin B-12 from the
diet.
Having a healthful and varied diet can usually provide enough nutrients
to prevent anemia.
