ANEMIA - Everybody needs a certain amount of iron in their blood. Anemia occurs when you do not have enough iron, either because you are not eating enough of the proper foods - like meat, or broccoli - that have lots of iron in them, or because your body is having trouble absorbing iron. You may feel tired all the time, or have rapid breathing and pulse, and pale, or yellowish skin. Anemia can be corrected by eating more foods that are high in iron, or by taking iron pills (or vitamins with iron).

ANOREXIA NERVOSA - When some children (usually older children) stop eating for long periods of time they may have an eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa. This really means a nervous loss of appetite (not hungry) and most often happens to females. Thinking they are too fat they starve themselves to lose weight. This is something no one should do as it destroys healthy body tissue and can make you very sick. Working with a special doctor who knows a lot about this disorder will help a person with Anorexia Nervosa.

Did you know that there are over 100,000 miles of Blood Vessels in the grown human body. Most of them are so microscopic (very very tiny) that the human eye can not see them. Blood vessels carry life giving food to every cell in your body.
