How to raise haemoglobin levels at home: top 5 tips from a naturopathic doctor

Haemoglobin plays an important role in the body's functioning, as it transports oxygen to tissues and organs, ensuring their normal functioning. Low haemoglobin levels can lead to an inadequate supply of oxygen, which manifests itself in fatigue, weakness and cognitive impairment. In addition, low haemoglobin levels can indicate anaemia, which in some cases can have serious consequences, including death.

If low haemoglobin levels are detected, it is important to consult a doctor for advice and further treatment. Nutrition alone cannot cure anaemia, especially in severe cases. Your doctor will prescribe the necessary medications and dosages to help raise your haemoglobin level.

However, regardless of the treatment, it is worth including iron-rich foods and drinks in your diet. Olena Svitko, a naturopathic doctor, shared her recipes.
