Hemoglobin levels are considered low if they are below 12 in women, and below 13 in males.
This means that you have severe anemia. You will require medications along with change in diet. Seek help from a professional immediately.
It has been found that fruits and vegetables such as bananas, apples, apricots, papayas, tomatoes, spinach and water melon are known to increase hemoglobin levels in the body.
One way to increase hemoglobin content in the blood is to increase your iron intake. You can do this by eating foods rich in iron. These include spinach, liver and organ meat, cabbage, green beans, and tofu. Folate is a vitamin that your body uses to create haem and is present in spinach, rice, and meat. This way you can increase your hemoglobin levels quickly without medications.
