Eating slate pencils

2020-08-27 16:36:09
I love slate pencils a lot. I am eating one box per week. I could not give up this habit. My hemoglobin levels are low since 14yrs of age. This craving subsides whenever I focus on health and take iron supplements. It comes back when I stop supplements. I am a very healthy and systematic person otherwise. I love to eat them as stress busters during my meetings and work.

You need to get your Hb and Serum calcium and D3 levels checked .consult some councillor as this habit is unhealthy . You can replace it by chewing gums or Saunf Cardamom .
