Low Iron? 5 Signs of Anemia You’re Probably Ignoring | Dr. Hansaji

Do you often feel tired, weak or less energetic than usual? Low iron can affect your stamina and may lead to anaemia if the deficiency becomes severe. Some warning signs, such as unusual cravings, restless legs, brittle nails or heavy menstrual bleeding, are easy to overlook. In this video, Hansaji explains the difference between iron deficiency and anaemia, common signs to watch for, and practical ways to support healthy iron levels through food, lifestyle and yoga. What you will learn: 1. Why low iron and anaemia are not the same. 2. How fatigue, reduced stamina, light-headedness and breathlessness may be related to anaemia. 3. Why cravings for non-food substances, restless legs, brittle nails and pale skin deserve attention. 4. How heavy menstrual bleeding can contribute to iron deficiency. 5. Which vegetarian foods provide iron, including dals, kala chana, rajma, lobhia, leafy greens, sesame seeds, ragi and bajra. 6. Why pairing plant-based iron sources with vitamin C-rich foods can improve iron absorption. 7. How to prepare tomato soup, moringa masoor dal and kala chana-amla chaat as part of a balanced diet. 8. How gentle yoga and Yogendra Pranayama No. 4 can support relaxation and comfortable breathing. 9. Why keeping tea and coffee away from iron-rich meals may help iron absorption. Treatment depends on the cause, and iron supplements should be taken with medical guidance. Heavy menstrual bleeding and persistent symptoms need proper evaluation. If you experience marked breathlessness, chest pain, fainting or a racing heartbeat with severe weakness, seek prompt medical care. Good health begins with recognising the signs, finding the underlying cause and taking consistent, informed steps. 00:00 Intro - Signs of Low Iron You Shouldn't Ignore 01:03 Sign 1 - Reduced Stamina 01:21 – Sign 2 - Dizziness and Light-Headedness 01:43 – sign 3 - Unusual Cravings 01:55 – sign 4 - Restless Legs 02:05 – sign 5 - Signs on Your Skin, Nails and Mouth 02:26 – sign 6 - Heavy Menstrual Bleeding and Iron Deficiency 02:57 – Management - Iron-Rich Foods to Include in Your Diet 03:46 – Recipe 1: Classical Ayurvedic Tomato Soup 04:58 – Recipe 2: Moringa Masoor Dal 05:54 – Recipe 3: Kala Chana and Amla Chaat 06:52 – Pranayama for Fatigue and Reduced Stamina 07:50 – Yogendra Pranayama No. 4: Step-by-Step Practice 08:25 – Daily Habits to Support Healthy Iron Levels 09:23 – Final Thoughts: Listen to Your Body Watch & Subscribe to our NEW TYI Shorts Channel!
