"ANEMIA- hidden disease"
Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. Having anemia can make you feel tired and weak.
There are many forms of anemia, each with its own cause. Anemia can be temporary or long term, and it can range from mild to severe. See your doctor if you suspect that you have anemia. It can be a warning sign of serious illness.

•Fatigue
•Weakness
•Pale or yellowish skin
•Irregular heartbeats
•Shortness of breath
•Dizziness or lightheadedness
•Chest pain

At first, anemia can be so mild that you don't notice it. But symptoms worsen as anemia worsens.

Many types of anemia can't be prevented.You can avoid anemia by including a variety of vitamins and minerals, like:
•Iron- Iron-rich foods include beef and other meats, beans, lentils, iron-fortified cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, and dried fruit.
