how to improve hemoglobin



Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein present in red blood cells. This protein is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
Its main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues, so that living cells can perform properly. Hemoglobin also helps carry carbon dioxide away from the cells and transport it back to the lungs.
When the hemoglobin level decreases, it can cause fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, pale skin, brittle nails, rapid heartbeat and poor appetite.
If the level drops significantly, the condition may be diagnosed as anemia and symptoms can become severe.
It is common for women to experience low hemoglobin levels during pregnancy or periods. However, there can be many other reasons behind it. The most common cause is nutritional deficiencies of iron, folic acid, and vitamins C and B12.
It can also occur due to blood loss from surgery or trauma, frequent blood donation, diseases affecting the bone marrow, cancer, kidney problems, arthritis, diabetes, stomach ulcers and other diseases of the digestive tract.
In most cases, low hemoglobin is associated with conditions that cause or contribute to fewer red blood cells.
Depending on the reason behind the drop in hemoglobin, there are certain natural ways that are effective in restoring it to a normal level. The length of time you’ll need to continue using these remedies depends on your hemoglobin level and how often your doctor checks it for improvement.
follow these conditions to improve your hemoglobin and be healthy.

how to get control on high blood pressure



If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.
Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you might avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication.
Here are some lifestyle changes you can make to lower your blood pressure and keep it down.
Blood pressure often increases as weight increases. Being overweight also can cause disrupted breathing while you sleep (sleep apnea), which further raises your blood pressure.
Weight loss is one of the most effective lifestyle changes for controlling blood pressure. Losing just 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) can help reduce your blood pressure.
Besides shedding pounds, you generally should also keep an eye on your waistline. Carrying too much weight around your waist can put you at greater risk of high blood pressure.
In general:
  • Men are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 40 inches (102 centimeters).
  • Women are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (89 centimeters).
These numbers vary among ethnic groups. Ask your doctor about a healthy waist measurement for you.
