A member asked:
Im slightly anemic, and i realized that if i do any cardio, it takes me more than a few minutes to not feel winded anymore, is it related to it?take iron?

Not likely: Unless you have become acutely anemic, or unless you are severely anemic, the anemia is not likely affecting your athletic performance. Iron might help you if you have iron deficiency. Iron could be harmful if you do not have iron deficiency. I recommend seeing your doctor to evaluate if you have a treatable cause for anemia.
