oh dear...

I might be anaemic...

😑 Like the blood thing?

yup

You have to eat better.

What's anamic?

Its a blood disease you get from not eating right.
When you pull the bottom of your eye...dont know whats called, it is suppose to have blood at the bottom, be really red, but anaemics(sp) are white, thats the easiest way to see.

I'm a student! I don't eat right! Am I anamic too. I'm not exactly pale but but not exactly normal either

"The blood in our bodies is composed of three types of cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) that circulate throughout the body. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin (Hb), a red, iron-rich protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to all of the body's muscles and organs. Oxygen provides the energy the body needs for all of its normal activities. Anemia occurs when the number of red blood cells (or the Hb in them) falls below normal and the body gets less oxygen and therefore has less energy than it needs to function properly. "

Its quite common.
Not eating right is the most common way to became anemic but some diseases cause it too.

Yeh vegies usually dont eat the proteins the body needs. Cos e meat and fish have stuff you need. You can get it in vegie food too. You just have to know where to look. Go to a food doctor 😂 Sorry I dont know the name in english.

nutritionist = food doctor

there called Nutritionists

Thanks. I knew it was something like that but it wasnt on the spellcheck 🙁

well, it's not definite yet... they want to take a blood test to determine it properly... but there's a high chance...
