Answer
Hemoglobin deficiency, also known as anemia, is characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a lower concentration of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin deficiency can have serious consequences for our bodies, some of which are listed below:
- Hemoglobin deficiency deprives the body of the oxygen it needs, leading to persistent fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath.
- Due to inadequate oxygen supply to the brain we may may experience difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and decreased mental alertness.
