how to increase haemoglobin - #28516
I am feeling kinda desperate right now and really need some advice on how to increase haemoglobin. For the past couple of months, I’ve been feeling super tired and dizzy, like, way more than usual. I went to the doctor last week, and they tested my blood — turns out my haemoglobin levels are low! They said I should focus on making some dietary changes, but honestly, I’m not really sure where to start. I mean, I already eat a mostly balanced diet, but maybe that’s not enough?? Last night, I had some spinach and lentils, which I thought would help, but I’m just worried it’s not enough. I heard that vitamin C helps with iron absorption, but like, how do I make sure I get enough of that too? And what about foods that actually contain iron? I know red meat is a good source but what if you’re like me and don’t eat much meat? I’ve tried to include beans and tofu, but I feel like I need more ideas on how to increase haemoglobin effectively. Would eating iron-rich snacks throughout the day help, or is there a better way? Also, do supplements help? I just don’t want to feel this way anymore!
