anaemia
i know how this condition works in terms of its effects on things like energy and exercise. i also know the general nutrition drill - i've heard more than i ever wanted to know about liver and broccoli, thanks.
what i'm now just curious about is how it works in the other direction. is exercise beneficial to rebuilding red blood count in its own right? neutral? counterproductive? i seem to vaguely remember hearing or reading some time ago that it's helpful, but that could be myth.
as i say, just curious. i can always ask my doctor next time i see her, but doctors don't really seem to grok this kind of recreational speculation. i'm not sure what they teach them in school these days.

exercise helps you rebuild red blood cells
intense training would be seriously detrimental to someone recovering/suffering from anaemia, but by intense I mean borderline over-training and much harder than any senseible anaemic would push it

I would think that weight-bearing exercises would build stonger bones and might cause the bigger bones to produce more red marrow which is invovled in the production of red blood cells.
Also--
Within 24 to 48 hours after exposure to altitude (+7000 feet), the hormone erythropoietin is secreted from the kidneys. This hormone stimulates the bones to increase red blood cell production.
On a side note--
Don't tell me I have to put bricks under my daughters' beds in the North America now as well!

A telltale sign of Anemia is a rapid heartbeat because the heart is pumping more blood to compensate for the low number of red blood cells. Other signs include a lighter color or red underneath the fingernails and in the rim lining the eyelid, both areas where a decreased number of red blood cells shows first.
By far the most common form of anemia is called iron deficiency where the body’s supply of iron, is insufficient. The resulting effect is the body slows its production of red blood cells and their number drops. Iron is found and can be absorbed from many foods, but only 1 mg of iron is absorbed for every 10 to 20 mg or iron ingested. Vitamin C enhances the absorption or iron, so citrus juices or vitamin C tablets can help the body absorb iron more effectively.
Oysters are the best source or iron with 13 milligrams per 3 ounces. Meat, especially red meat, is another good source, with 4 milligrams per 3 ounces. Fish, leafy greens, vegetables and nuts are all good sources of iron.
If your diagnosed with Anemia the correction may take several months.
