You Have Pale Skin
If you’ve recently noticed that your skin is a few shades lighter than its regular tone, it could mean that your blood flow had reduced, or that your body is not producing an adequate amount of red blood cells. Skin pigment is a good indicator of health, and whether it’s a good idea to seek nutritional or medical advice from professionals.
Pale skin could also indicate anemia, a condition where your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body. The most common cause of anemia is low iron levels. Iron is an important mineral, as your body needs it to make hemoglobin, the component of your red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout your body.
Other symptoms of anemia include fatigue, breathlessness, headache and dizziness. If you suspect that you have anemia it’s important to seek medical attention for both diagnosis and advice on supplementation.
