Throughout my life I’ve had several experiences where I passed out but over time it became familiar like an annoying family member coming over uninvited. Until something woke me up, instead of the usual black out I had a seizure and began to grow a fear. I started feeling weak both physically & emotionally, I felt like I couldn’t do anything. I had anemia, an iron deficiency due to a poor diet. I became curious as to why I had anemia so I researched a little finding that it all boiled down to what I ate. Now that I’ve looked deeper into the cause do I know the extremely complex details that I didn’t know before. My digestive system was directly involved in how I go anemia and in my recovery. My iron levels were low so my body couldn’t make a healthy amount of red blood cells. Now this memory lingers on strongly within me reminding me to be conscious in how I take care of myself in order to be healthy.
