Hemoglobin is an important component of red blood cells (RBCs), which transports oxygen to various parts of the body. If there is a deficiency of hemoglobin in the body, problems like fatigue, dizziness, and weakness can occur.
It is important to maintain hemoglobin levels through a balanced diet, proper lifestyle, and regular exercise. If hemoglobin decreases significantly, consult a doctor and eat a healthy diet if necessary.
You can maintain hemoglobin levels by taking some simple measures at home, which will keep the body healthy. For this, it is important to first know what the hemoglobin level should be according to age and how to increase it naturally.
Normal hemoglobin levels vary with age. For children aged 14 to 18 years, the hemoglobin level should be 12-15.5 g/dL. Whereas, men above 18 years of age should have hemoglobin levels of 13.5 to 17.5 g/dL.
The normal range for teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 18 is 10-15.5 g/dL and for women above 12.0 to 15.5 g/dL. If the hemoglobin level is lower than this, you should try home remedies.
Home remedies to increase hemoglobin
If your body is deficient in hemoglobin, it is very important to include foods rich in iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C in your diet.
Iron plays an important role in producing hemoglobin. Eat green leafy vegetables like spinach and fenugreek to meet the body's iron requirement. Both beets and pomegranates are very effective in increasing blood. Figs and dates also help in increasing hemoglobin.
Oranges, lemons, amla, and tomatoes are rich in vitamin C. Drinking carrot and beetroot juice increases hemoglobin rapidly. Iron and other nutrients are found in abundance in the leaves of the plant.
Folic acid helps in the production of new red blood cells. Eat soybeans, broccoli, and peanuts. Oranges and papaya are also excellent sources of folic acid.
Deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to low hemoglobin levels in the body. Eat dairy products like milk, curd, and cheese.
Eating jaggery and roasted chickpeas increases hemoglobin levels rapidly. Jaggery is a natural source of iron, and chickpeas contain protein and fiber.
