Beetroot Juice To Mulberry Smoothie, Iron-rich Drinks To Increase Haemoglobin Levels In The Body
Less haemoglobin in the body than in the normal range can lead to anaemia in the body.

Haemoglobin is responsible for circulating oxygen in the body. Low levels of haemoglobin can be a sign of an underlying health condition such as anaemia. Heamoglobin is an iron-rich protein found in red blood cells. When a person does not have enough red blood cells, then the lack of oxygen in the body can prove to be harmful.

In India, low levels of haemoglobin are very common among people. Clinically, the normal level of haemoglobin in the body in men is 14g/dl to 18 g/dl, and in women, the normal level is 12g/dl to 16 g/dl. Less haemoglobin in the body than in the normal range can build up anaemia in the body.

Some of the symptoms of anaemia in the body are headaches, feeling tired more often, feeling more fatigued after exercise than usual, problems with concentration, numbness in the feet and hands, loss of appetite, bluish eyes, brittle nails, and shortness of breath. Hence, enlisted here are a few iron-rich drinks to increase the haemoglobin level in the body.

Beetroot Juice

Apart from Iion, beetroot has a sufficient amount of folate, potassium, magnesium, betaine, and vitamin C. As beetroot juice improves haemoglobin levels in the blood, the oxygen supply in the body improves as well.

Mint Juice
