Penyebab Tubuh Kekurangan Zat Besi

Berikut ini beberapa penyebab tubuh kekurangan zat besi yang harus Anda ketahui.

1. Kurang konsumsi makanan tinggi zat besi

Penyebab pertama kekurangan zat besi pada tubuh adalah kurangnya asupan makanan yang mengandung zat besi.

Jika Anda mengalami gejala seperti di atas, cobalah untuk memperbanyak makanan yang mengandung zat besi.

Makanan tinggi zat besi seperti sayur bayam, brokoli, daging, ikan, hati ayam, hingga kacang merah.

2. Kehilangan darah

Kehilangan darah selama masa menstruasi atau kehilangan darah akibat cedera dapat menyebabkan seseorang kekurangan zat besi.

Kondisi medis yang memicu pendarahan, seperti wasir, polip, dan kanker usus besar juga dapat mengakibatkan kehilangan darah dan memicu anemia defisiensi zat besi.

3. Penyerapan zat besi dalam tubuh tidak efektif

Jika Anda sudah mengonsumsi makanan tinggi zat besi dan bahkan sudah konsumsi suplemen penambah zat besi, namun masih mengalami kekurangan zat besi, itu pertanda tubuh tidak menyerap zat besi secara optimal.

Penyerapan zat besi yang tidak efektif bisa terjadi karena terlalu banyak minum teh, penyakit celiac, penyakit crohn, atau peradangan kronis.

4. Kehamilan

Kehamilan juga termasuk penyebab seorang ibu hamil kekurangan zat besi.

Saat di dalam rahim, janin memerlukan sel darah merah yang kaya oksigen sebagai sumber energi.

Itulah sebabnya ibu hamil dianjurkan untuk mengonsumsi makanan tinggi zat besi dan tambahan suplemen atau vitamin prenatal demi mencukupi kebutuhannya dengan calon buah hati.

Pentingnya zat besi untuk kesehatan tubuh, ada baiknya mulai hari ini Anda lebih banyak mengonsumsi makanan yang mengandung zat besi, terlebih lagi pada wanita hamil dan sedang menstruasi.
