Cansancio diario: expertos explican por qué puede deberse a una deficiencia de hierro
La falta de hierro se traduce en la ausencia de este mineral para producir hemoglobina por lo que esto puede generar anemia, fatiga, palidez, falta de energía, mareos y taquicardia.
TL;DR
- Iron deficiency results in insufficient hemoglobin, which transports oxygen, leading to anemia, fatigue, paleness, lack of energy, dizziness, and tachycardia.
- Problems with iron absorption may stem from a sensitive and unhealthy gut microbiome.
- Excessive consumption of processed foods, poor diet, conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, and repeated antibiotic use can harm the gut microbiome and absorption surfaces.
- Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia where the blood lacks sufficient healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen.
- Symptoms can include extreme fatigue, weakness, pale skin, chest pain, rapid heartbeats, shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness, cold extremities, swollen tongue, brittle nails, unusual cravings for non-nutritive substances, and lack of appetite.
- Causes include blood loss, lack of iron in the diet, inability to absorb iron, and pregnancy.
- Risk factors are particularly present in women, vegetarians, infants, children, and frequent blood donors.
