    This is a great piece of information and is exceedingly helpful. Anemia is a decrease in red blood cells or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. It is now a common problem observed especially among the young girls. The major reason of it is life style and the food habit. Anemia should be taken seriously as it can be a reason for many other diseases in the later part of life.
