Remedies to increase haemoglobin

The fastest way to boost your hemoglobin is to stockpile in foods that are rich in iron. Iron provides red blood cells, which determine the quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. If your body is deficient in iron, chances are very high that you would also be deficient in hemoglobin.


Some of the foods rich in iron are spinach, beetroot, soya beans, apples, almonds, pears, tomatoes, potato peels, figs and alfalfa sprouts. In order to add to your blood count, you can also include at least one serving of red meat in a day. This will also raise your hemoglobin levels very rapidly.


You must make sure your body receives a combination of at least five to seven of these edibles every single day, in order to boost your count. It is preferable to have most of the listed components (except meat) raw, as they are richest in iron. Cooking may destroy iron content by as much as half. Potato peels may be dried and toasted in order to make them an interesting snack.
It is also important to cut back on tea, coffee, cigarettes and alcohol, since all of them inhibit absorption of iron in the body and therefore reduce your blood count. You can have herbal tea, fresh juices or water instead.
