Hey everyone, this week we will listen to the spotlight with the introduction of ad Kieu Tien. In this week’s audio, we will learn about anemia due to iron deficiency. This is a very common disease worldwide, especially in poor countries where the rate is often very high. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), iron deficiency affects the human body more than any other factor. The disease can occur at any age and in both genders, but women of childbearing age and children account for a higher rate.

As the name of the disease suggests, people with anemia often do not have enough iron in their bodies. Without enough iron, the body cannot produce enough hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells, which allows for oxygen exchange. As a result, iron deficiency anemia can cause fatigue, weakness, and paleness. Iron deficiency can also increase the likelihood of the human body getting sick as well as being infected higher than normal levels.

To address this issue, a Canadian scientist, Christopher Charles, invented a fish made of iron that is about 7.6 cm long and weighs 200g. This iron fish has helped alleviate the concern of iron deficiency, providing additional nutrition for women and children in Cambodia. This fish has aided thousands of citizens in Cambodia and has become the lucky symbol (Lucky Iron Fish) for the people of this country. Let's learn about the process of inventing this iron fish, shall we friends ^ ^.
