hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about iron deficient anemia okay what is

anemia

it’s basically either decreased red

blood cells or decreased hemoglobin

because iron is the mineral that’s in

the center of this molecule okay or

decrease ability to carry oxygen all

right some of the symptoms are you’re

tired you crave chewing ice you’re weak

shortness of breath and in advanced

cases you start looking pale okay

some of the causes blood loss

menstruation ulcers parasites trauma

fibroid could do it cancer colon cancer

infection like malaria it could be

genetic but this is what I want to talk

about here it’s decrease absorption of

iron so let’s say for example you’re

consuming foods with iron but it’s not

absorbing this is very very common the

number one cause is this right here low

stomach acids so many people are

deficient in hydrochloric acid in their

stomach and we don’t have enough acid

you are going to have problems like Girt

you’re gonna have heartburn acid reflux

why because it takes a very strong acid

to keep the valve closed at the top of

the stomach if you don’t have the strong

acid the this the acid comes up through

up into the esophagus so you get a

reflux situation and as you get older

you lose your stomach acids so apple

cider vinegar very very very very

important with the meal and that will

really help the absorption of iron now

if you’re taking any acids that’s really

going to wipe out your stomach acids and

you’re really not going to absorb iron

so why are you taking anti acids we’ll

have to get rid of the heartburn which

is caused by not enough acid because the

babylon clothes so it’s a whole cycle

because so ni acids work until the next

time you eat then you have to keep

taking them ox ’lets okay but it’s a

compound in things like spinach and

Swiss chard which basically bind to the

iron and it blocks the iron in those two

foods from from you

using them about a hundred percent of

the iron is locked up with oxalates and

spinach and Swiss chard and don’t forget

if you’re consuming spinach and Swiss

chard make sure you add lemon to prevent

the oxalate stones because you’re also

blocking other minerals too like calcium

magnesium and zinc okay so if I toke

acid what’s that if someone’s doing a

lot of grains it has a lot of phytic

acid in there and that is also going to

prevent the absorption of iron zinc and

other minerals okay

gastric bypass you don’t have the

surface layer so you can’t absorb

minerals as much as you did before GI

problems IBS Crohn’s silly act these are

all problems mainly with the small

intestine and guess where you absorb

iron right in the small intestine so

that’s another common cause okay in

which case I put a video down below of

what to do for this to help heal this so

if you’re deficient from the diet here’s

the foods that are very high in iron

clams oysters meets egg liver octopus

which by the way I love octopus

spirulina

is loaded with iron so these are some

things that you can consume more of to

get more iron alright thanks for
