Dietitians Reveal 12 Surprising Signs of Iron Deficiency

Summary: Iron deficiency is very common, especially for women with heavy periods, vegetarians, and athletes. Iron helps your blood carry oxygen. Without enough of it, your body feels like a phone running on a low battery.

You might already know that low iron makes you tired, weak, or pale. But there are also some very strange signs! You might crave chewing on ice or even dirt. Your hair could thin out, your nails might bend like spoons, and your hands could constantly freeze. Some people even get blue eyeballs, a swollen tongue, or hear a loud pounding sound in their ears. If you have these weird signs, your body might just be begging for more iron!
