In ancient Greek, anemia means “without blood”. In layman’s terms, it’s simply a lack of iron, or healthy red blood cells in the body. It occurs when a person’s blood doesn’t have enough red blood cells or hemoglobin. The hemoglobin is the one who carries the pigment which is found in the red blood cells.
There are some types of anemia and they differ in the causes and treatments. The most common type of this disease is called iron deficiency anemia. It is easy to treat with some diet changes or iron supplements. Another type is called as pernicious; it is not a common kind like the iron deficiency which is easy to treat. A person gets this kind when he has inadequate production of red blood cells. It is a hereditary kind but can also be caused of a person’s diet that lacks vitamin B12.
