Why is wanting to chew ice a sign of anemia? Why do you wanna chew ice if you have an iron deficiency?
In: Biology
In another thread not too long ago, somebody mentioned how it increases blood flow to the brain, which is good when being low on iron or having low blood pressure might cause passing out!
Don’t know how true that is, but I’m anemic with low BP, and used to chew on “ice in a towel” (ice cubes wrapped in a wet dishcloth) as a kid. Now, I mostly crave Slush Puppies (not easy to find anymore!)
