Answers: my doctor says im very low in iron,and then hes says ' i dont think shes anemic."what is anemic?
Signs of iron deficiency anemia are dizzy spells and fainting, loss of balance, fatigue and exhaustion, paleness of skin ............ check the inner skin on your bottom eyelid..... if it is rich and red in coloring then you aren't anemic... if it is pasty and pale then you are anemic ?
vitamin B12 is essential for the effective assimilation of iron, therefore, if you are deficient in B12 you will never assimilate your iron effectively and will be displaying symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia as mentioned above.
a deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as fatigue an exhaustion, headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, heart palpitations and chest pains,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ....Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
Eat more foods rich in iron ie ~ red meat, clams, dried peaches, farina, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, blackstrap molasses is a rich source of iron and oatmeal.
Iron assimilates more effectively when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C ie; citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, leafy green vegies and red and green peppers.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis and focus on meat free iron rich sources as i've mentioned above.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, laxative and diuretics, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin and otc cold and flu medicines, the oral contraceptive and eoestrogen supplementation.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are
When you take your daily B complex supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food ie: low fat cheese or milk or a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they all work in conjunction with one another.
Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?

Anemia basically means that the iron levels in your blood are below a certain point. So though your iron levels may be low, they aren't below the point where it is labelled as anemia. Eat more meat!
Anemia is when the iron in your blood is low. I've had anemia and the symptoms are usually vomiting and a really bad headache.
you may want to look at building the iron levels in your blood. Eating more meat is one way but you can also look using some herbs like nettles which can be purchased in a tea form. You asked about the signs of anemia; low energy, easy bruising, feeling cold. Hope this give you a start.
Just to give you a little more education on anemia I've gone to Wikepedia and it's pretty detailed. Don't read into it , just learn from what you read. A healthy diet of vegatables and meats does help. Junk food get's the best of us though sometimes. Just eat a balanced diet and if you don't know where to start then get your doctor to give you a balanced diet list. I'm sure he'll be glad to.
