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.
