Natural Treatments of Anaemia, Irregular heartbeats and Headaches: Master Your Emotion and Stress
#Anemia May Be an Indicator of Kidney Disease
Kidneys aid bone marrow in producing red blood cells. When the kidney function decreases, bone marrow stops making new red blood cells and anemia comes into being.
There is a strong connection between stress and anemia. Stress and chronic anxiety proved to cause anemia, irregular heartbeats and he adaches.
Anemia often referred to as having “tired blood” as a person doesn’t have enough red blood cells capable of carrying the required amount of oxygen to the tissues of the body.
Anemia usually stems from other underlying illnesses, such as panic disorder or anxiety disorder. Thus, anemia can be identified as a red flag for evaluating our stress level on a daily basis.
When we are under too much stress, our body undergoes specific chemical changes. Stress is believed to affect vitamin metabolism in our body. So, if a person is under a lot of stress, his body would use up a lot of magnesium. Thus, is a person suffers from an anxiety disorder, the level of magnesium in his body can be very law. That fully explains the connection between anxiety and anemia. Besides, sustained excessive stress hinders the manufacture of hydrochloric acid in our body and deficiency of iron is amount to lack of haemoglobin.
What is Anaemia? Anemia means a persons’ body lacks red blood cells (RBC) he has poor ability of the blood to carry oxygen. As a person suffers from anemia, he experiences excessive blood loss, decreased production of red blood cells and the increase of the number of red blood cells break down.
Chronic stress and anxiety are package deals. The symptoms of anemia and the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks are overlapped. The common causes of anemia, anxiety disorder and panic attacks are stress.
Anxiety often leads to binge eating or emotional eating, which is one of the common causes of GERD. Take good control of stress helps control anemia and our health.
As iron deficiency anemia is a sort of blood disorder, which affects countless individuals around the world. Women are more likely to be susceptible to anemia because of blood loss during menstruation. Having an overall balanced diet and eating foods that are rich in iron can be helpful. Foods rich in iron include leafy green vegetables, red meat, liver, eggs, bran flakes, dried apricots, lentils and beans. Spinach and kale are high in iron. People with anemia can intake the following food lists to digest more iron: Almonds, cashews, walnuts, whole grains, yams, lean meats, beef liver, lamb, chicken, salmon, clams, shrimp, and oysters.
An iron-rich diet doesn’t necessarily mean that the iron is being absorbed efficiently. Having caffeinated drinks preceding or following your meal might prevent the iron from being absorbed properly. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb iron.Vitamin C is an iron-absorption enhancer. For instance, drinking orange juice just after meals help our body effectively absorb iron.
Poor nutrition or poor diet cannot supply the body to produce red blood cells, which might result in anemia. The consumption of excessive alcohol might lead to anemia too. If you attempt to re-establish red blood cells, stay away from caffeine including tea, coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, beer, ice cream and candy bars.
The symptoms of anemia
#Chronic Fatigue/Tiredness
Chronic fatigue is one of the warning signs that your body might suffer from iron deficiency. To assure all of the cells in our body can be functioned efficiently, oxygen needs to be able to travel freely around the body.
Oxygen attaches to hemoglobin. People with anemia don’t have enough hemoglobin in their red blood cells. Thus, when red blood cells try to distribute oxygen throughout the body, there’s a trouble. When your body doesn't’ have enough oxygen to reach the vital organs and muscles, fatigue comes into being.
#Stress and Heart Disease
Stress s a risk factor for heart disease. As our body under chronic stress, our body bears persistently elevated levels of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. Studies also link stress to changes in the way blood clots, which increases the risk of heart attack.
As your body does not have enough oxygen in the blood, your heart was forced to work twice as hard to get oxygen circulated through the rest of the body. If it happens very often, the exhausted heart will cause irregular heartbeats.
#Deficiency of red blood cells makes breathing more difficult.
Irregular heartbeats are often accompanied by breathlessness as red blood cells are scarce and fail to carry enough oxygen from the lungs to the heart.
# Hear noises in the inner ear
Different patients hear different noises. Increased blood flow in the jugular vein as the heart works harder to pump blood between heart and brain. By doing so the blood has to pass through our middle ear, resulting in tinnitus.
# Dry Mouth
Sores in and around the mouth indicate an iron deficiency.
#Frequent Headaches
Headaches usually indicate that there is a lack of oxygen reaching the brain. When the situation happens, the arteries in the head start to swell and cause a headache. If there is blood deficiency during the transportation of arteries, there will be more headaches.
# Skin Tone and Brittle Nails
When brittle nails accompany pale skin, that’s an evident indicator of anemia. Pale skin is caused by the lack of hemoglobin in red blood cells and a lack of red blood cells. As the numbers of red blood cells restricted, the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to reach the surface of the skin but supply the vital organs first.
Attention: Never take iron supplements without a doctor’s diagnosis, because oo much iron can be detrimental to our body.
