Had no idea too much cow's milk could cause iron deficiency in toddlers. I wasn't told anything in the early 2010s as a toddler mum, just that they could have cow's milk from age 1.
Wonder if it doesn't get picked up til later in many cases, apropos of this school conversation the other day:
Student #1 (to me): Miss, all us brown girls, we all have low iron. It's a thing.
(To random Sri Lankan Aussie female friend walking past) Do you have low iron?
Student #2 (laughing) Yes!
Next time I'll ask if they drink a lot of cow's milk!

#Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is lower than normal. This means less oxygen than normal is being delivered throughout the body. Globally, nearly 1 in 3 women are affected by anaemia 👉 bit.ly/3YIYfL8

Starting with #Health & #nutrition:
Providing school meals would improve the overall diet quality of our kids, potentially reducing rates of #anaemia, #obesity, and other health issues (Verguet et al., 2020).
Assuming #auspol continues to destroy public health care, this is desperately needed as it will reduce the load on the overworked medical staff, shorten waiting times and reverse the predictions of reduced lifetime expectancies of younger generations.

In 2012 I was 43, and my #weight was just shy of 130kg. I felt like crap, and couldn't keep up with my kid playing kiddy football. I decided to do something about it, started #C25K and a #diet , and by June 2014, I was down to 92kg and was #running 5km three times a week and was well on my way to doing 10km.
Then life threw a curveball and I couldn't #run any more.
And in 2019 I was back to 125kg and was diagnosed with #diabetesT2.
And I started #C25K again, and was back to running 5km a couple of times a week, and was down to about 100kg.
And life threw another curveball, and I couldn't run again. I didn't know it then but my #coeliac gene had activated due to the trauma that stopped me running, and I felt bloody awful. And yup, I ballooned back to ~120kg again. Several utterly useless doctors later "Lose weight and exercise more" "I can barely get off the couch, I am exhausted just walking from the waiting room to your office" "Here's an exercise program" a good #doctor found severe #anaemia as well as #bloating and #JointInflammation and asked why? and I was diagnosed as a #coeliac in November 2023.
I stopped eating #gluten and I slowly lost the feeling of being the walking dead and I started feeling alive again. Very slowly the weight dropped. And I rediscovered the joy of #moving my #body.
Today, I am #55yo , 97kg, and just did this on the #exercise bike, which is 5 minutes longer than when I started a few weeks ago. I'm #purposefully #exercising again.
Will I #run again? Probably not - the #knees and #hips are not what they once were - but I've found that #dancing to #livemusic is great #aerobic #exercise and am happy to hop on the #StationaryBike to make sure I can cope with 2 hours of thrashing it out to #IronMaiden next month. A girl has to have #goals. It's no longer about my #weight or how I #look, it's because #life is short, and I want to #live it.

Wider use of #TranexamicAcid to reduce #SurgicalBleeding could benefit patients and health systems | The BMJ https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj-2024-079444 “Because there is strong evidence that tranexamic acid reduces bleeding and transfusion and no indication of any increased risk of thrombosis, the benefits exceed the harms in patients having major surgery. Even in patients who do not require #transfusion, reducing bleeding will reduce postoperative #anaemia and facilitate more rapid recovery.”

@itsveganjim Years ago the WHO listed #meat as #carcinogenic.
Note the bit about #heme iron for those claiming that they must eat meat to treat #anaemia. Get an iron infusion. I promise that, in the long run, that's a more cost-effective treatment for the #healthcare system and #ecosystem.

Iron-deficiency #anaemia is a public #health problem. Supplements can quickly improve iron #nutrition in humans, but the costs are relatively high. Increasing the #iron content in daily consumed crops thru #plantbreeding is more cost-effective: https://doi.org/10.1002/ctm2.1538 #China

Since 2000, the prevalence of anaemia in India has been a serious concern. Two decades later, in 2022, anaemia is much more prevalent
3 out of 5 Indian women suffer from #anaemia
