Low hemoglobin levels can be a sign of a disease such as anemia. Certain dietary measures and supplements can help raise levels of this blood marker.
It is an iron-rich protein found in red blood cells. They are responsible for transporting oxygen in the body. Dr. Dominique Fontaine talks about this in more detail.
The specialist recommends increasing the intake of iron and folic acid and taking measures to improve their absorption.
“When a person does not have enough red blood cells or they stop working properly, anemia occurs. This leads to a lack of oxygen in the body, which is dangerous,” says the expert. The doctor explains that iron promotes the production of red blood cells.
A person with low hemoglobin may benefit from eating more iron-rich foods:
Folic acid is a type of B vitamin that plays an important role in the production of red comet blood cells. The body uses folic acid to make heme, a component of hemoglobin that helps carry oxygen.
“Red blood cells will not be able to mature if a person does not get enough folic acid.” This can lead to folate deficiency anemia and low hemoglobin levels.
“Consumption of certain vitamins and minerals can help the body absorb iron better. These include vitamin C, vitamin A, beta-carotene. In this way, iron absorption increases,” says the expert.
The symptoms by which you can know that your body is experiencing an iron deficiency are:
Most often, among the reasons for its appearance are:
Irregular and unbalanced diet – vegetarians, as well as people who follow strict diets, are at risk.
Chronic blood loss associated with diseases: frequent nosebleeds, heavy menstruation, gastrointestinal bleeding, helminthiasis, chronic infections and other pathologies, according to actualno.com, quoted by exquis.ro.
