Anemic blood is weaker than non-anemic. Blood that lacks umphh may leave you feeling cold, your skin pale, and your digestion weak. In fact, all blood intensive activities may be affected.

Some of the types of anemia include iron-deficiency, pernicious, and hemolytic anemias like sickle-cell and thalassemia. Microcytic anemia may result from hemolytic and iron-deficient anemias. Macrocytic anemia relates to vitamin B-12 deficiency. Iron deficient anemias are helped by iron rich foods. Women have anemia due to heavy menstruation. Ayurveda is often effective at regulating the menstruation cycle.

In hemolytic anemia, your red blood cells die every 25 days, causing congestion in the liver and spleen. Hemloytic anemias are helped by reducing stress, excess physical activity, and exposure to heat.

Pernicious anemia is common among vegetarians after several years. Pernicious anemia is due to a lack of vitamin B-12.

Iron Absorption

Gastric acid and a low pH enhances solubility and updake of oxidized iron. Hypochlorhydria and use of antacids can create an iron deficiency. Iron in the form of Heme, present in meats, is rapidly absorbed regardless of duodenal pH. Meats are thus an excellent source of iron. Ascorbate and citrate increase iron uptake by increasing solubility. Conversely, iron absorption is inhibited by plant phytates and tannins. Lead, especially undetected in groundwater, can interfere with iron absorption.

Disclaimer: 'Anemia' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

REBALANCE YOUR BODY WITH DIET, LIFESTYLE & HERBS HAVING THESE QUALITIES

Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using gunas. Gunas are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Anemia', you should select foods with the following qualities (gunas). Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance. For best results, get a one on one consultation.

STAGE OF DISEASE: 4 - TISSUE DISEASE

If you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.
