If left untreated, iron-deficiency anemia can cause serious health problems. Having too little oxygen in the body can damage organs. With anemia, the heart must work harder to make up for the lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin. This extra work can harm the heart
Anemia is also known as a lack of blood. This lack of blood is very unhealthy for the body as it reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported to the body's vital and non vital organs. This leads to reduced oxygen in the body, which could in turn, cause the failure to thrive.
