Blood health is wealth
Blood health or the state of a person’s blood nutrition is crucial for our bodies to function effectively. With all the challenges that we face each day, maintaining the health of the life that’s coursing through our veins is key to our total wellness.
To ensure blood health, iron is a much-needed nutrient as it aids in the production of red blood cells. Without sufficient iron, our body can't produce enough oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in red blood cells which can bring about health consequences.
How can you tell if your blood health is not at its optimum level? Watch out for these indicators:
Pale skin color
Paleness, or pallor, may be the result of not having enough healthy red blood cells. If your skin is pale and lacking that natural blush even after a good amount of daily activity, poor blood health due to iron deficiency may be the culprit.
Extreme fatigue
Do you find yourself exhausted after just climbing a few steps or a moderate amount of housework? It may be because your body has an inadequate supply of oxygen needed for the task. Oxygen is carried by our red blood cells and poor blood health has our oxygen-processing capability compromised as a result.
Weak immune system
Iron is a vital nutrient in keeping the body’s natural defense system in peak shape. This is why a weakened immunity is one of the more serious results of iron deficiency. A weak immune system makes us more susceptible to disease and infection and makes recovery from illness slower.
Filipinos’ resilience is at the forefront this year. Our steadfastness of spirit needs to be accompanied by a state of health that’s always ready to take on any challenge. Stay hopeful and be inspired by this music video that celebrates the resilience of Filipinos.
Poor blood health from an iron deficiency usually takes time to develop. The symptoms above may not appear until the condition is severe. This is why there is a need to consciously ensure that our liquid lifeline is at its best through proper nutrition, enough rest, and exercise.
Taking the right supplements along with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle also improves our blood health, which can help keep our immunity at its peak. Aside from iron, other essential micronutrients that support blood health are Vitamin B12, Folic acid, and Vitamin C. These and more can be found in Multivitamins & Minerals (Sangobion IRON+).
Make blood health your priority now and have the strength to face life’s challenges. For more information on the #AngDugoMoKamusta campaign, visit the brand’s Facebook page.
