Anemia

Have you or anyone you know ever been told that you were anemic?
Anemia means that your blood does not supply enough oxygen to the
cells. It may be caused by many factors including blood loss, not getting
enough of certain items in your diet, and destruction of red blood cells.
Investigate anemia by interviewing experts, using books from the library
or gathering information from Internet sites that are scientifically accurate.
