ionharyadi said that the habit of chewing ice cubes often occurs in young women and pregnant women. This habit of chewing ice cubes can be a sign that a person has anemia.

This is because one of the symptoms of anemia is that someone will like consuming foods that are not nutritious. One type of food is ice cubes.

"Usually this happens in young and productive women or pregnant women," said dr. Dion Haryadi.

One of the symptoms of anemia is pica. It's a habit to eat something that is not food, or has no nutritional value. This includes ice cubes, clay, soap, even up to urine or feces," he added.

Doctor Dion emphasized that the habit of chewing ice cubes is not the cause of an anemic. However, someone already has anemia first, then likes to chew ice cubes because they think it can help them.

"It should be remembered that ngunyah ice cube does not cause anemia, but there is already anemia first, then there are symptoms of liking ice cubes," he said.

Thus, for you, especially young women must be vigilant if they have the habit of chewing ice cubes. It could be that you have anemia that must be immediately checked with a doctor for further treatment.

"That's why for you, especially young and productive women, be careful if you have a habit of liking or snacking on ice cubes. It could be a symptom of anemia, so immediately go to the doctor," concluded Doctor Dion Haryadi.
