What foods increase hemoglobin?

The main factor in the drop in hemoglobin is the lack of iron in the body. In conditions of lack of iron, a person may experience weakness, fatigue, dryness and decreased skin elasticity, loss of efficiency.

Iron is the constituent element of hemoglobin, responsible for the delivery of oxygen to the tissues. If iron or hemoglobin is not enough, the organs experience oxygen starvation, which provokes malfunctions in the functioning of body systems.

The next factor in the insufficient amount of hemoglobin may be a deficiency of vitamin B¹² and folic acid. This condition is often observed in women who lose these vitamins during menstruation or pregnancy, as well as with strict and lengthy diets for weight correction.

What products increase hemoglobin? First of all, this meat, as well as fish and egg yolk. And it is necessary to remember that iron is best absorbed in the presence of ascorbic acid - vitamin C. Therefore, when eating meat or fish products, do not forget to eat a slice of lemon, or to drink a meal with a rose hips decoction.

Iron is found not only in meat. For vegetarians: you can make up hemoglobin deficiency by eating beans, apples, carrots, beets, pomegranates, nuts, red and black berries, parsley or dill.

However, it should be noted that of meat products, the human body can absorb up to 30% of iron, from fish and eggs - up to 15%, and from vegetable and fruit ingredients - only up to 5% of iron.

It is important to note that by eating a sufficient number of foods containing iron per day and washing down your food with strong tea or coffee, you will not help your body raise the level of hemoglobin. The fact is that such drinks as black tea and coffee, interfere with the normal absorption of iron in the digestive tract. In order to achieve a positive result and increase the amount of hemoglobin, replace the coffee with freshly squeezed juice from useful in this situation plant products: pomegranate, apples, raspberries. Slow down the absorption of iron can also be dairy and soy products, flour dishes and semolina.

Iron and its compounds can be found in potatoes, melons, melons, garlic and onions, lettuce, greens, buckwheat, gooseberries, grapes and strawberries.

Ascorbic acid and vitamin B are found in potatoes, cabbage, eggplant, squash, pumpkin, garlic and onion, melon, sea buckthorn, dogrose, cranberries, citrus fruits, kiwi, berries, corn, pears, etc.

In pregnancy, the level of hemoglobin is very important: it is important for the future mother to supply oxygen, both the tissues of her own organism and the emerging organism of the future baby. If the hemoglobin values are less than 100 g / l, it makes sense to start taking medications containing iron and vitamins with the permission of the doctor. If the level of hemoglobin is not critical, it is sufficient to use those products that will help stabilize the amount of iron, vitamins and hemoglobin in the blood. These are the products:
