*A statement of how it can be avoided (what dietary changes should be made).

*A picture of a sufferer

Answer 1

Due to lack of iron, the haemoglobin content in a body gets decreased. As a result the person is anaemic. The blood turns pale yellow.

Symptoms: yellowing of the eyes and palm. repeated tiredness even if less of work is done.

Mainly teened girls get anaemic. The most worst part is that she never knows that she is anaemic. A normal girl must have a haemoglobin of atleast 11.6 . Due to the monthly discharges more no. of girls are anaemic than the boys.

Anaemia can be avoided by eating the tricolour food.

orange--- All the orange coloured food i.e. carrot, egg yolk, beet, oranges etc.

white---- All white coloured food i.e. rice, wheat, milk, cereals, raddish etc.

green--- All green coloured food i.e. green vegetables.

The picture of the suffer can be seen if you stand in front of your mirror.

Answer 2

http://www.faqs.org/health/topics/47/Min...

This page gives some info on the minerals, not on the vitamins. It may be enough to help you search for extra information.

Wikipedia is actually an excellent site for information on the conditions and causes for these (I've looked at a fair few of them).

I know a fair few of the condition names, if they're any help.

Iron: anaemia

Iodine: goitre (occurs in the thyroid)

Sodium: hyponatremia

vitamin A: night blindness

B12: pernicious anemia

C: scurvy

Not sure about calcium.

Hope this helps a bit.
