Iron is used by the
body to make haemoglobin,
which helps store and
carry oxygen in the red
blood cells. Haemoglobin
transports oxygen from
the lungs to the rest of
the body. If there is a
lack of iron in the
blood, organs and tissue
will not receive
sufficient oxygen to
function normally.
Iron deficiency anaemia
affects around 8% of
women in the UK.

Tiredness - Shortness of
breath and palpitations -
Fainting - Burning
sensation on the tongue -

Gout is a rheumatic
complaint with symptoms
which include painful
swelling and inflammation
in generally a single
joint at a time. The
disease usually affects
the big toe, but it can
develop in any joint in
the body and is more
common in men than women.
Usually, uric acid is
excreted by the kidneys
but amongst patients with
a predisposition for
gout, the uric acid
accumulates in the blood
until the concentration
is so high that it
settles in the joints and
sometimes in the skin.
This deposition of sodium
urate (uric acid) in the
joints becomes inflamed
and can cause severe
pain. Common
Symptoms - Severe joint
pain - Swelling and
warmth around the joints
- Red and shiny skin
around the joints - Mild
fever - Firm, white
lumps beneath the skin
Who does it affect? -
Being overweight can lead
to excess uric acid
production - Eating
purine-rich foods as part
of your regular diet can
be a risk factor for
developing gout Video

deficiency in Vitamin D
can lead to rickets in
children, a condition
that can cause bone
