Hello,

A lack of an adequate amount of Iron can lead to an Iron deficiency which can lead to a form of anemia a condition where the blood lacks a healthy amount of red blood cells, that carry oxygen to tissues. Oxygen in the blood gives the body energy and the skin healthy coloring. Having anemia can make you look pale and feel fatigued. The body needs Iron to produce hemoglobin which allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Your doctor can perform a blood test to determine if you suffer from an Iron deficiency, you should also consult your physician about proper nutrition and weight concerns especially if you are over weight.
