Explanation:

Anemia is a condition that may be caused by iron deficiency. The normal red blood cells in the blood contain hemoglobin, which is a protein that binds to iron and transport oxygen to different parts of the body. People with anemia by iron deficiency have hemoglobin levels lower than normal, and therefore they can't transport enough oxygen to the tissues. The anemia by iron deficiency is a condition that can be treated by consuming foods rich in iron such as dark green leafy vegetables (i.e., chard, spinach, etc), red meats, beans, dried fruits, seafood, etc.
