Question

Once a girl starts menstruating, her body needs more:

• A. Iron
• B. Calcium
• C. Vitamin C
• D. Vitamin A

Answer 1

The correct option is A Iron

• Once a girl starts menstruation, her body needs more iron to make up for the amount of iron that is lost in their menstrual cycle.
• During menstruation, blood flows out from the body after a fixed interval.
• As we know haemoglobin is composed of a protein called globulin, four heme groups, each associated with an iron atom.
• In the absence of iron, the person becomes anaemic. So, to avoid this condition in females, it is necessary to take more iron.
