Iron deficiency
So I'm seeing my doctor today as a result of the blood tests I had last week re: hypertension, and she tells me I'm anaemic. Having an iron deficiency is something I never considered I could have, although it explains my lack of energy of late (I put it down to being a sole parent with two young kids who works full time).
I eat red meat maybe once a week, but tend to eat more chicken than red meat. So I bought a organic liquid iron supplement from the health food store, as the liquid is absorbed into your body quicker than iron tablets. I'm hoping to see some results in a couple of weeks in terms of increased energy and a positive effect on my high blood pressure (still have to take tablets for that!).
Anyone else had problems with lack of iron?
