How to imrpove the hemoglobin level in our body

Its  a great evening,here in coimbatore, cool breeze and fresh air is awakening. One of my friends was talking about her low hemoglobin level in her body and so i thought why not throw light on this issue and suggest some remedies,ofcourse ayurvedic and indian.

• Asparagus (shatwar) and sesame seeds (til) are other good sources of iron.
• Grains like barley (jav), rice (chawal), semolina (sooji), millet (bajra) and maize (makai) can also be included. You could use combination of any of these sources to cook delicious iron rich recipes.
• If not, munch on dried fruits such as almonds (badaam), dried peaches or raisins (manuka). If you’re a non-vegetarian, meat and fish are the best sources of iron for you.
• Add dried herbs to your diet, especially, coriander (dhania), spearmint (pudina), basil (tulsi), chervil (chevil), dried parsley (sukhe ajamoda), bay leaf (tejpatta).
• Another way to increase iron absorption is to minimise the intake of calcium rich foods like milk and cheese because they block the absorption of iron. Don’t drink too much of coffee, tea and alcohol.
• Avoid eating foods containing gluten like pastas and wheat products, which are also linked to anaemia. Read more about Beat anemia with beetroots.
• Sometimes, foods such as parsley (ajwain) that are rich in oxalic acid may also interfere with absorption of iron. Have them in limited quantities.

• Increase Vitamin C Intake

  Low hemoglobin levels due to a deficiency of vitamin C can be corrected by eating more foods rich in vitamin C. Iron cannot be fully absorbed by the body without the help of this vitamin.
  • Eat foods rich in vitamin C like papaya, oranges, lemon, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, grapefruit, tomatoes and spinach.

  • Beetroots

    Beetroot is highly recommended to increase hemoglobin levels. It is high in iron, folic acid as well as fiber and potassium. Its nutritional value helps increase the body’s red blood cell count.
  • Cook 1 to 2 beetroots along with their peels in a microwave or roast them on the stove. Allow them to cool and peel them before eating.
  • You can prepare a healthy juice with 1 medium-sized beetroot, 3 carrots and 1/2 of a sweet potato. Drink it once daily.
  • Take lots of apples too.
  • Apart from all this always maintain a standard healthy wholesome diet and exercise regularly.
  • Live Well!!Eat Well!
