I wonder how many out there have iron deficiency but try to compensate with more caffeine? I was told that I had anemia at childhood and then several years ago, because of too much exhaustion after exercising, my attention was brought to it again (reading or watching something from Dr. Oz) and tried to improve my diet toward correcting that. But later I still thought that my lingering exhaustion after exercising is something that I should experience. So since before September 2020 I have stopped the benching and weight lifting I used to do in the couple of years preceding that date, because of how it made me feel unable to concentrate during the remaining of the day. Then very recently I started to feel the same problem even with just walking exercises. It also happened despite having good amount of deep sleep. That sounded abnormal to me. During this same time I used to also drink too much coffee (mostly decaffeinated). So I suspected a problem here and found about how it may impede iron absorption. Then I started an effort to increase the iron I get and replaced coffee after meals with caffeine free soda and have been gradually feeling the improvement of that like a medicine. So how many other people could be mistakenly thinking that their over exhaustion (which they may take as just exhaustion) is an unavoidable part of them?
