Your Body Is Speaking
You are tired. Not the tiredness after a long day — a tiredness that is already there before the day begins. Your face is pale, your hands cold, your heartbeat accelerates under exertion that used to mean nothing to you. Stairs become hurdles. Concentration becomes an effort. It feels as though someone has turned the dimmer down on your life — everything is muted, flat, without luminosity.
Medically, anemia means that your blood contains too few red blood cells or too little hemoglobin — the substance that transports oxygen through your body. Your cells are not getting enough air. Your entire system runs on a low flame.
