The human body or each human rather comprises millions and trillions of red blood cells in their body. These red blood cells die after every 120 days and new ones are produced by the bone marrow and the old ones are mashed out by the spleen which has its distinct and distinctive function. However, it's very good and important for one to eat a healthy balanced diet to keep fit and be healthy. Good diet helps the body build stronger immunity against infection and any Antigen or foreign body. People with lack of adequate or enough red blood cells such as in Sickle cell patients need to take sufficient blood supplements so as to help them keep fit and not to be anemic. That's why they must ensure their regular intake of folic acid, farsolate medications, blood transfusions and other different methods of blood replacements. Normal shape and good enrichment of blood cells in the body helps with free flow and viscosity of red blood cells in the blood vessels but proper and lack of adequate hemoglobin causes the red blood cells to lose shape and form a sickling shape which causes a lot of serious crises in sickle cell patient and always require immediate Medical attention or else it might lead to sudden death.
