I am not an expert, either.  Anemia seems to be pretty common.  Especially in young women and this is due to their monthly cycle. 

The best way to prevent iron deficiency anemia is to eat a balanced diet and to take a multi-vitamin that contains iron.  The genetic diseases cannot be prevented, only treated at this time.  At least as far as I know.

I am not an expert in anemia but anemia can indeed have various causes. It can be genetic, as with sickle cell anemia or it can be lifestyle based. Factors such as diet are particularly important. If you lack iron, this can cause a deficit in hemoglobin. If you lack vitamin b12, this causes red blood cells to develop in an abnormal manner.

Is there more than one type of anemia? What causes anemia? How can it be prevented? Does lack of normal 8 hours sleep cause anemia?
