Anemia

Anemia is a deficiency in the number of red blood cells or in their hemoglobin content that results in pallor, shortness of breath, and lack of energy. It can be placed into three different types.

The first is a nutritional deficiency, usually either of iron or protein. Sometimes other nutrients such as niacin, copper, Vitamin C, or rarely Vitamin B-12, may be involved. Chronic blood loss can also cause iron deficiency anemia.

Excessive blood destruction is a second cause of anemia. Increased blood destruction comes from such disorders as hemolytic anemia, which can be due to exposure to toxic chemicals, related to certain diseases of blood-forming organs, viral infections, or rarely, to hereditary causes.

A third cause of anemia is depression of the bone marrow. This condition is due to toxicity or hypersensitivity, as from the taking of certain drugs and other toxic substances, or from chronic kidney disease.

1. Drink plenty of water, 16 oz. with 1-2 T.  fresh lemon juice upon arising in the morning, finishing it 30 minutes before eating breakfast, and then ½ of your body weight in ounces throughout the rest of the day, divided up and sipping it not gulping.

WATER CALCULATION FORMULA

Most people believe they drink enough water. Unfortunately they don't. And as a result, approximately 85-90% of people are dehydrated. They either do not drink enough water or they are not drinking it properly.

That's right!!! THERE'S A RIGHT WAY AND A WRONG WAY OF DRINKING WATER. Therefore, to ensure that people are not only getting enough water, but that they are drinking it the right way.

#1: Upon arising, adults should drink 16 oz. of water. This is to replace the fluid that everyone loses in the morning, adding the juice of 1-2 lemons.

#2: After-ward, take your weight and divide that by 2. Now take your answer and convert it to ounces. This is the total # of ounces you will be drinking for the entire day on top of the 16 oz. of water you are to drink first thing in the morning.

#3: The next thing you want to do is calculate the # of hours you are awake each day. What time do you get up on average and what time do you go to sleep? Now if you are awake for 16 hours, you would subtract 1 hour before bedtime, giving you a total of 15 hours for the day.

#4: Then, take the # of ounces you are to drink each day (not including your 16 oz. for the morning) and divide that by the # of hours you are awake after having subtracted the hone hour before bedtime.

Your answer will be the total # of ounces you are to drink each hour of the day, stopping 1 hour before you go to bed.

By drinking water this way, you are not only getting enough of it, you are also drinking it properly. Most people wait a couple of hours before they even take their first drink of water for the day. This causes dehydration.

Therefore, when they drink, they gulp their water instead of sipping it, which in turn causes the water to run right through them, still leaving them dehydrated. By drinking the water every hour, you are helping your body to absorb and store the water instead of helping it to be flushed out.

2. Eat a diet liberal in green, leafy vegetables. Whole-grain breads, cereals, and beans are excellent blood builders. It is well to avoid dairy products, as they contain very little iron and tend to bind iron present in other foods. Eat dry fruit frequently, especially peaches and apricots.

3. Get adequate rest so your body can repair and rebuild blood cells. Fatigue causes poor blood, so 7-8 hours of sleep each night is about right for most adults. Too much sleep is also improper.

4. Avoid nervous tension, and remember that exercise neutralizes tension.

5. Exercise also stimulates the bone marrow to produce blood cells and promotes absorption of iron from the intestine.

6. Sunshine stimulates blood-making and generally promotes good health. Vitamin D assists in the making of blood and can be obtained in adequate quantities from DAILY SUN exposure of the skin. You only need to expose your face and hands.

7. Fresh air is essential for cleansing the blood. Good posture and deep breathing of pure air is a good way to build the blood and nourish all the cells of the body. This is a natural protection against anemia.

8. Habitual chilling of the extremities causes a tax on the body, and since chilling of the blood circulates to the bone marrow, this decreases the rate at which blood cells can be made. Proper clothing of the extremities is important in keeping the circulation equalized between the trunk and extremities, making good blood production possible.

9. Chronic blood loss from excessive menstruation, or a little daily loss from a bleeding point in the gastrointestinal tract, can keep iron stores low. These conditions should be promptly corrected by proper measures.

10. To stimulate the bone marrow and the circulation, use a short cold bath. Adjust the temperature of the water in the tub between 40° and 90° F. The greater the cold, the less time spent. Try 30 seconds at 40-50° F, one minute at 60°-70° F, two minutes at 70°-80° F, three minutes at 80°-85° F, and three-and-a-half minutes at 90 º F.
