[Anemia is a lack of oxygen in the body]

If you have anemia but it doesn't fit here, please refer to this.
⇒⇒Difference between anemia and hypotension
Anemia is simply a condition in which the blood becomes thin , and more specifically, it is a condition in which the amount of hemoglobin, a component contained in the blood, is reduced and is lower than normal.
Hemoglobin is a pigment in blood that is contained in red blood cells and plays a role in carrying oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Decreased amount of hemoglobin means...
In anemia, the ability to circulate oxygen throughout the body is reduced, and the body becomes “ oxygen-deficient ”.
Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia in women, which is caused by a lack of the material (iron) that makes up the blood.
Women already lose twice as much iron as men during menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Furthermore, skipping breakfast or inadequate nutritional supplementation due to dieting can easily lead to iron deficiency.
No wonder women are more likely to be anemic.
Iron and protein are the building blocks of hemoglobin!
●Iron
Foods rich in iron : meat, seafood, seaweed, legumes, green vegetables
●Protein
Foods rich in protein : meat , seafood, eggs, legumes/soybean products, dairy products
●Vitamin B12, folic acid
If these two vitamins are deficient, red blood cells cannot be produced well, and hemoglobin deficiency is likely to occur.
Foods rich in vitamin B12 : meat, eggs, dairy products, seafood
Foods rich in folic acid : meat, vegetables, seaweed
●Vitamin C
It is a vitamin that improves the absorption of iron such as vegetables and seaweed. Let's take it positively from usual.
Foods rich in vitamin C : fruits, vegetables
Eat a balanced diet every day to help produce healthy blood.

● Iron supplementation is difficult ...?
The recommended amount of iron that Japanese people need per day (18 years old and over) is
18-74 years old 7.5mg
75 years old or older 7.0 mg
<Woman>
6.5 mg (if there is no menstruation)
65 years old or older 6.0 mg * In addition to the above during pregnancy and lactation
Early pregnancy and lactation: +2.5mg
For those in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy: +9.5mg
If you have symptoms of anemia, it is important to replenish iron more firmly . For that purpose, of course, diet is also important, but iron is poorly absorbed (around 10 to 15%), so it is relatively difficult to supply enough through diet compared to other nutrients.
