Low iron~?

Deleted • 13 November 2011 at 1:44 PM

Is it good or bad to have low iron?
Like everyone in my Physical Science class had high iron,
except me. >.>

@dawnie
Are you by chance on a diet?

Deleted • 13 November 2011 at 1:46 PM

@Toy Technically yes, because my parents are, so we eat what they eat.. Why?

@dawnie
Sometimes that can make you iron deficient.
Maybe your not eating all the right foods you need to have in a proper diet.
But I don't know your entire case, so I don't know.
Low iron is bad.
I don't know how low yours is, though?
If your worried go see a doctor and if he feels the need to, he'll give you iron supplements.
Maybe your low iron is why your tummy hurt the other day?

@dawnie do you drink alot of milk? Calcium absorbs vitamins ans stuff so.....

@dawnie
Having low iron isn't really good, but it depends on how low your iron actually is. If it isn't that low I think the best thing is to just have extra green vegetables (though I wouldn't recommend overpowering your diet with green vegetables) to boost your iron (eg spinach) and if possible have cereal that has extra iron in it for breakfast. Oh and if you have white bread for your toast try having whole wheat. If your worried you can go to the doctor like @toy said.

@lola622f Yeah, I drink a lot of milk.

Depends, normal Iron count for a woman is 12 to 12.6 😊 But any thing a little bit higher or lower isn't that bad. Too much either way though you should probably alter your diet accordingly. It doesn't matter that much though unless you want to donate blood. 😃

Low iron is worse than high, with low iron you can become anemic. That is no good. ☹️

Things with lots of Iron, red meat (steak, pork, etc.), raw veggies, raisins, and OREOS. No joke. 😊 When I had low Iron I ate an entire box in one day lol, and then like two a day until I tried to give blood again. It was 12.4 and it had been 11 two weeks before XD

Toast is good too! You tested in school? You don't remember what the number was?

@nkiay's right, red meat is the best to help boost your iron count.

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 5:39 PM

@glados

SO true! I like my steaks, and college food lacks proper nutrition, like steak! I only have low iron at school. XD

I heard iron deficiency can give you strange cravings... for things like ice, vinegar, and ketchup. e.o

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 5:45 PM

@crescentfeather

I crave ice, but my iron is good. I'm just crazy tho. Hahah I just like frozen thing XD Frozen fruit is the BEST!!

crescentfeather • 13 November 2011 at 5:46 PM

@nkiay *slurps on smoothie*

I agree. B)

But I mean like ice cubes. XD

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 5:48 PM

@crescentfeather

I mean ice cubes too. XD

When I had braces on, my ortho would scold me cause I kinda broke them. >_>

dewpaw • 13 November 2011 at 5:56 PM

I have a low iron count as well, when my numbers are normal I get sick. ☹️ People always say I'm gunna die from it, but my doctor says it's perfectly normal for me! 😸

crescentfeather • 13 November 2011 at 6:11 PM

Interesting.

@dewpaw they're a bit on the negative side..

Moved to forum "Chit-Chat." 😊

Most anything is dangerous in both low and high quantities; moderate is best.

toy • 13 November 2011 at 7:41 PM

@nkiay
I always broke my braces on lollipops..

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 7:43 PM

@toy

Mine mostly got broken form hitting my teeth. DX It was awful, I had an over bite.

toy • 13 November 2011 at 7:45 PM

@nkiay
The orth took my braces off and I still have my over bite...
And then it costs $300 to whiten my teeth professionally.
I get so jealous of girls with a perfect mouth xD

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 7:47 PM

@toy

So true and you have to wear the stupid retainers bla.
My teeth are tiny compared to my my mouth. DX
Grr perfect teethed people.
But my hair is awesome so its all good!

toy • 13 November 2011 at 7:49 PM

@nkiay
I love my hair too!❤️
Bahaha that's funny(:
And my orth gave me the invisaline instead of a retainer.
I don't wear it... ^^;

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 7:50 PM

@toy

Hahhah 😃
That is odd. 😊
I'm going to stop wearing mine too!
They are so annoying mah teef don move!

toy • 13 November 2011 at 7:51 PM

@nkiay
Don't stop wearing it!
Even if it's been a year since you started wearing the retainer,
your teeth will shift )):

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 7:54 PM

@toy

Gah, but I don't wanna wear them for the rest of my life DX
My friend thinks she has to wear them the rest of her life 😃

toy • 13 November 2011 at 7:55 PM

@nkiay
You do have to wear them for the rest of your life, sadly...
Well only at night.
Braces are such a waste of money >.>

nkiay • 13 November 2011 at 7:59 PM

@toy

Noooooooooooo ☹️
Ima stop wearing them at some point(I only wear them at night now)
They are dumb, my teeth have always been strait just the over bite was a issue.
