Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein. It is found in the body's red blood cells and transports oxygen to different body parts. When the levels of hemoglobin are low, it leads to a condition called anemia. Anemia occurs when a person doesn't have sufficient red blood cells in the body or if the cells stop performing their functions properly. Anemia leads to low oxygen in the body which can be fatal for a person.
According to the Lancet, there were 1.92 billion people who had anemia worldwide. The alarming part is that the cases have increased by 420 million in the past three decades.
In India anemia is common. The normal levels of hemoglobin for adult men is 14 to 18 g/dl and in adult women is 12 to 16 g/dl.
The main causes of anemia are pregnancy, deficiency of vitamin B12, loss of blood, cancer, kidney disorders, liver problems, thyroid conditions, genetic conditions, thalassemia, and consumption of excessive alcohol.
The symptoms of low hemoglobin levels include:
Although the doctor may prescribe supplements and medications to increase the hemoglobin levels in the body, there are certain dietary measures a person can take at home to increase their hemoglobin levels. However, it is important to note that home remedies may take longer than the medication prescribed by the doctor. If the hemoglobin levels have to be increased urgently then the doctor may suggest a blood transfusion, surgery to stop internal bleeding, or a bone marrow transplant.
There are multiple ways in which a person can improve and manage their hemoglobin levels at home.
