Blood is an extremely important fluid in the human body👫. It helps sustain life and plays a role in supplying nutrients to the body as well as removing waste products from metabolism. It is estimated that an average adult has about 4 to 5 liters of blood in the body.
Blood circulates through the circulatory system thanks to contractions of the heart🫀, helping transport Oxygen and CO2, balance water💧 and mineral salts, and protect the body against infection. If there is not enough blood or anemia develops, the body may easily become fatigued, lose endurance, experience shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, numbness of the limbs and rapid heartbeat; in more serious cases, inflammation of the tongue, hair loss, nail problems, menstrual disorders or amenorrhea in women may occur. Excessive blood loss can even lead to shock and death.
