hematocrit/staying hydraed

[Guest guest]

What's all the fuss about hematocrit anyway?

" A low hematocrit is referred to as being anemic. There are many reasons for

anemia. Some of the more common reasons are loss of blood (traumatic injury,

surgery, bleeding colon cancer), nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin B12,

folate), bone marrow problems (replacement of bone marrow by cancer, suppression

by chemotherapy drugs, kidney failure), and abnormal hematocrit (sickle cell

anemia). "

Here is a brief message on how to stay hydrated; this is very important in

summer.

Water Boosts Your Energy

If you're feeling drained and depleted, get a pick-me-up with water. Dehydration

makes you feel fatigued.

Water helps the blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your

cells.

If you're getting enough water, your heart also doesn't have to work as hard to

pump blood throughout your body.
