I was prescribed a medicine for anemia and Vit C and took them for one month. Just last month, I started feeling shortness of breath just by taking the stairs and it never happened before even during hiking. I am also losing a lot of hair for the last few months.

    Thanks for the video, i would just like to comment that i was anemic for years, most of my life (22 years), exhausted all the time, I went to the doctor and he insisted i increase my meat intake specifically beef, which only made it worse. After travelling to India at age 23 and meeting many people from all over the world, I realised this is old incorrect science. Unfortunately people are still taught this on nutrition degrees.
    I went vegan and have been vegan or plant based (however you want to label) it for 5 years now, I’m now 28, and now after a recent blood test I am no longer anaemic, have unlimited energy, my doctors actually said i have incredible blood (not my words) it was super dark and purple which is what you want, not a tomato sauce colour he said. My body runs of iron from plants perfectly.
    According to science heme iron is more bioavailable meaning it is better absorbed, however iron is a pro oxidant which means in excess it can cause inflammation in the body, which we do not want.
    According to science you have to eat many more plants compared to meat to get the ‘correct’ intake, however because non heme iron is less bioavilable it means the body can regulate the intake better, a slower absorption is ideal for the body. From experience the plant source of iron is so much richer, meaning depending on what greens you eat in actual fact you can eat a small amount of plants to get all the iron you need.
    If you eat cheap spinach from a supermarket shelf that has been sitting there for days compared to foraging nettles, that’s a huge difference. Unfortunately most studies are not carried out with all the variables.
    My advice would be to increase your greens, and I don’t mean just iceberg lettuce, I mean rocket, kale, nettles, dandelions, chard, sorrel, cleavers, parsley, corrianer, all dark dark leafy greens in nature. Which may be bitter, but we need that for our digestion to function optimally.
    Heme iron is actually a carcinogen and we do not as humans need to consume it. Just want to share because being anemic for so long was really debilitating and now I am super happy and healthy. Also just to clarify as a ‘vegan’ you can still eat unhealthy, so i like the term plant based because my diet is pretty much plants with some legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits etc. I avoid refined sugar, simple carbohydrates like bread, white rice, processed foods etc. I eat a whole foods plants based diet, hope this helps someone. Love and sharing xx

    Clicked your video because of the beetroot drawing on the cover! I only recently discovered I’m iron deficient by chance from a screening blood test which came out quite a surprise because I consider myself on a relatively healthy diet with plenty of vitamin C and I have no symptoms. I do have beeturia but always thought it was a personal condition rather than a symptom. Now I know there IS an association!

  • @OceanMetTheSky

    Wow, this is an informative video. I am going to do blood work Tuesday finally to see if i am anemic. I was wondering your thoughts. I am 29, but since i was a teenager, I would have very bad cramping during my time of the month. I would sometimes black out due to how bad I felt during that time, and get extremely pale and vomit. Flash forward to my mid 20s and i finally decided to get on birth control strictly for making my periods better. Now that they are better, I don't feel horrible during that week like I used to. However, I do still feel constantly tired. I am very pale. I do have restless leg syndrome. Unlike many other who experience coldness, I seem to be more sensitive to heat and experience hot flashes often yet my hands can remain cold as I experience this sweating. For the last few years, I have felt my face looks "sickly". If I would ask others, they might not notice. But for me personally, I feel something is different. My skin seems aged and sallow at times despite the fact that I am a health person, take vitamins, and my family doesn't age quickly. Other days, my face seems great. It's like I never know what tomorrow will bring in terms of it. But sometimes my face just looks lifeless. Even my eyes which are brown, just seem empty and hollow.
    I have gained dark circles under my eyes that do not change regardless of diet or sleep. I hate looking in the mirror at times and seeing dry skin or wrinkles before I am even thirty. I looked more into this and i have read that improper nutrient absorption from having something like anemia can cause sallow skin and other effects. If i am anemic, do you think when i begin treatment of iron supplements and all, my youthful glowing skin will return? I used to get compliments on my skin and it's glow all the time. Now it seems washed out and lifeless, despite having even better care for it these days. I want my energy back. I am a little confused as to why i would still be experiencing all this when I now have weakened periods due to the birth control. But I guess the anemia is still present even on a regular day.

    Me not eating enough, nor eating foods that contain iron, coupled with heavy periods and gluten sensitivity is what does me in. When I'm good with my calorie nutrition intake I'm fine. But I when I slip ugh I get anxiety, fast heartrate, dizziness, and when it's bad I get pale randomly, had blue nails, and eventually started blacking out. I got a fitness food tracker and discovered I barely get the correct daily iron intake alone with other nutrients.

      Medicosis Perfectionalis well it’s my own theory, when you go into cold water, then your heart rate will generally slow and constrict blood vessels with it. With iron-deficiency anemia, you usually get fatigue, which means your body can’t produce enough oxygen haemoglobin because of the low iron, obviously. So would eating ice cause all the blood to rush to the brain, therefore stimulating muscles? I don’t know, but the theory has always helped me cope with my anemia better, and the fact that I crave ice.

      If you've got iron issues, even if you're okay right now I strongly suggest getting away from veganism. It kickstarted hypothyroidism and anemia for so severe I almost had to be hospitalized. I've been eating meat again and feel better but my body is still recovering from the vitamin deficiency. It made me so, so sick. Please keep in close contact with your doctor and get your blood checked regularly. Veganism has only been popular for 9-10 years and pretty much everyone I've known that was vegan had to stop because of serious health issues like me or started having severe mental health issues. I really wanted it to work for me but 4 years of veganism really messed my body up

      @IndigoRoses7 5 лет назад +14

      @@treehugger9070 yeah you haven't been in that long. I felt fantastic the first year I was vegan. I did. But as time goes on, your body will start to try to compensate for the nutrients you aren't eating anymore. Your HEME-iron, especially. You'll start feeling sluggish, depressed, almost like you're going to faint. Your skin will look dry, your hair will get brittle. Your nails too. You have a reserve in your body of certain nutrients from when you were a meat eater, and it will eventually depleat and this is when you will start to crash from this. It will happen, I wanted this diet to work for me so much but it made me ten times sicker than I ever thought imaginable. I've lost a lot of hair, I had serious anemia issues that were only made better by going back to meat. It's a nice thought to live plant based and be healthy and happy, in no way do I make this an attack - this is a warning from someone who did this for 4 years and it sucked the life out of me and I'm still recovering from it. You'll feel great and have fine blood work for a while but the thing about being veganism is, you have to supplement for the rest of your life this way. And you do not absorb supplement nutrients the same way you absorb nutrients in food. Not at all. Up until recently I had been relying on plant based iron supplements, because I still didn't want to go back to red meat. I had to, because anemia almost put me in the hospital. I almost had to quit my job because there were days I could barely get out of bed. Please do your research, and the moment you start feeling unhealthy please consider another path. I truly believe if I hadn't stopped eating this way it would have put me in the hospital or eventually killed me. It made me that weak and deficient. And I also did it "the right way" and ate as much unprocessed vegan food as possible. Still, it put me under...so much so that I feel bad for ever recommending it to anyone years ago

    • @treehugger9070
      @treehugger9070 5 лет назад

      Indigo Girl Veganism isn’t a diet lol, it’s for animal rights and environment to me. I have depression from genetics in the first place, and my sleep apnea makes me sluggish.... so what difference could it make lol.. but if you do veganism right (which I am) you will get all the nutrients you need. I had my blood checked recently and my doctor is seeing increases in my deficiencies.
      And on top of the amount of spinach and mushrooms and greens and beans I eat. I do take iron pills just in case I need something to lean on. But again when I did eat meat my iron was a lot lower then what it is now ....
