VIDEO SCRIPT
If you want to find out if you have iron deficiency or low hemoglobin, you can do it in a few minutes at home without using any extra equipment. If you are a vegetarian or vegan it is even more important to do so. If you don’t check for it, you may never know you have low hemoglobin. The first thing to do is stand in front of the mirror, pull your lower eyelids normally it should look bright red. If you see any paleness as you see in the picture this may indicate iron deficiency. The next thing is, to stand in front of the mirror and smile. Look at your gums. The gums should normally be bright red and should not be pale. The next thing is to look at the nails. The nails have a normal shape. If they look Spoon shaped, also known as spoon-shaped nails, this may indicate severe underlying Iron deficiency. Look in the mirror and put your tongue out. If the tongue is swollen, inflamed with red spots this may indicate iron deficiency. If it is severe you may also have pain during speaking, chewing, and also tenderness, which is pain on the young’s on touch. Think about your day. Do you feel excessively fatigued? Do you have mood swings? Do you have difficulty in concentrating on work? All this may also indicate underlying iron deficiency. If you have a child whom you’re worried about, you may see additional things like they drink a lot of whole milk and full-fat milk and they have a poor oral intake. They may have unusual eating habits like snacking on ice, paper, rock, clay and this is known as pica. If you have any of the things that I just mentioned it is time to get your blood checked for low hemoglobin because this is easily treatable. In the meanwhile, you can consume more iron-rich foods like taking beans, green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, tofu, chickpeas or hummus, dried fruits, nuts, brown rice, and fortified foods.
