Are you iron deficient? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Iron deficiency can cause dizziness, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, temperature sensitivity, hair loss, and heart palpitations. A deficiency occurs when there is not enough iron present in the blood. Without it, your body can’t produce hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen throughout the body—making iron essential for life. If you think your iron is low, try adding iron-rich foods into your diet, such as: spinach, peas, sweet potatoes, tofu, liver, beef, and clams. In some cases, an iron-deficiency can be caused by serious health problems. It’s important to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
