6. 💓 Heart Palpitations
Your heart works harder to compensate for low oxygen levels
May feel like fluttering or pounding in your chest
7. 💅 Brittle Nails or Hair Loss
Iron deficiency can weaken keratin structure
You might notice thinning hair or nails that chip easily
8. 👄 Cracks at the Corners of Your Mouth or Sore Tongue
These subtle signs often go unnoticed
Iron supports tissue repair and immune function
🥦 What to Do:
Eat iron-rich foods: red meat, lentils, spinach, pumpkin seeds, fortified cereals
Pair with vitamin C (like citrus) to boost absorption
Avoid excess caffeine or calcium around iron-rich meals—they can block absorption
Consider a blood test if symptoms persist
