i have low iron (almost to the point of being anemic) and i have started getting colds really easy. it was very uncommon for me to get a cold up until this year. what can i do to fix this?
Well, it sounds like you need more iron. When you don't have enough, your immune cells don't work well enough. That could explain the colds.
All you need to do is take some iron. However, I wouldn't advise you to do this unless you talk to a doctor and he/she tells you to take more iron.
If he/she does and doesn't recommend any specific kind, I suggest getting it from a health food store. This will insure that you get good quality iron, not cheap iron.

well, my doctor said that my birth control pills have extra iron....But i dont think those are helping, and I might be changing them soon. Would that be a bad idea for my low iron?
