Symptom #10: Frequent Infections: The Immunity Connection
Did you know that frequent infections could be a sign of iron deficiency? Iron is crucial for a healthy immune system. It aids in the growth and differentiation of immune cells, particularly lymphocytes, which help the body fight off infections.
