What do you understand using Anemia?
Anemia is a health problem where the body of an individual is defective in red blood cells. And, red blood cells on the other hand are the blood cells that convey oxygen to our body tissue. These blood cells are produced in the born marrow.

Anemia is a disease that seems to be harmless, but over time if we do not pay attention to it, it can bring us problems, since the lack of red blood cells makes us weak to the point of falling asleep or even fainting or losing consciousness.
You are right brother
