Anemia is an unhealthy condition in which number of red blood cells in the body are less than the required amount. This leads to less availability of oxygen to the body’s tissues. This makes the person feeling tired and weak.

Red blood cells contain a red pigment called haemoglobin. This red pigment binds with oxygen and carry it to all the tissues of the body. Less red blood cells leads to less haemoglobin content. Thus less oxygen reaches the tissues

It can be mild to severe and temporary or long term. In most of the cases, anemia has more than one cause. The major cause of anemia is iron deficiency.
