Anaemia: It is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (the iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body). Dietary iron, folic acid, and zinc are essential for red blood cells to produce and mature in the body. Generally,  0.8 to 1 % of red blood cells are replaced daily. Any process that affects red blood cell production and destruction can cause anaemia. Some of the factors responsible for anaemia include accidents, childbirth, dietary insufficiency, and excessive uterine bleeding.

Vitamin B9 deficiency: When your body doesn't have adequate levels of a water-soluble vitamin called Folic acid or Vitamin B9, this disease is developed. Vitamin B9 deficiency symptoms include fatigue, mouth sores, a weak immune system, tiredness, and low energy level.
