Blood is life. Blood in the human body is the
equivalent of engine oil in a motor vehicle. Just
like the vehicle engine oil, our blood has three
main functions transportation, regulation and
protection. Our erythrocytes, or red blood cells,
are the most abundant cell type in the human
body. Additionally, erythrocytes are anucleated,
which means they dont have a nucleus. This extra
room allows for more haemoglobin to be stored in
our red blood cells. Haemoglobin is a respiratory
pigment, which binds to either oxygen or carbon
dioxide. This allows oxygen to be transported
around our body to our tissues and organs (and
carbon dioxide to be taken away).

Blood also helps us to maintain homeostasis by
regulating our internal body pH and temperature
as well as how much water is in our bodies at a
given time. Plasma, our connective tissue matrix,
is about 90 percent water. Thus, the crucial
importance of healthy blood cells cannot be
over-emphasised as it is vital in protecting our
bodies.

Haemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells
that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove
carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to
the lungs for you to exhale. Foods rich in iron
help us maintain healthy red blood cells.
Vitamins are also necessary to build healthy red
blood cells. These include vitamin E, found in
foods such as dark green vegetables, nuts and
seeds, mango, and avocados vitamins B2, B12, and
B3, found in foods such as eggs, whole grains,
and bananas and folate, available in fortified
cereals, dried beans and lentils, orange juice,
and green leafy vegetables.

Most people dont think about their red blood
cells unless they have a disease that affects
these cells. Problems with red blood cells can be
caused by illnesses or a lack of iron or vitamins
in your diet. Some diseases of the red blood
cells are inherited. Diseases of the red blood
cells include many types of anemia, a condition
in which the body cant produce enough normal red
blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen throughout
the body. People with anemia may have red blood
cells that have an unusual shape or that look
normal, larger than normal, or smaller than normal

Symptoms of anemia include tiredness, irregular
heartbeats, pale skin, feeling cold, and, in
severe cases, heart failure. Children who dont
have enough healthy red blood cells grow and
develop more slowly than other children. These
symptoms demonstrate how important red blood
cells are to your daily life. In the past two
decades, extensive research carried out by top
scientists in the world have concluded that the
inability of blood to fully perform its function
and be healthy gives rise to Oxidative stress
which has now been found to be the root cause of
a wide range of ailments and diseases.
