Do you have low hemoglobin? It is not necessary to eat liver dishes and drink them with pomegranate juice if the iron level is low.
We will tell you which products to choose to feel better.
The first signs of iron deficiency in the blood can be: dizziness, dry skin, cracked lips, poor sleep and appetite, lethargy, sleepiness, tiredness, brittle nails, and falling hair.
Of course, serious diseases should be ruled out before dealing with the restoration of hemoglobin. But more often than not, anemia is caused by poor nutrition, diet, meat-skipping, fasting, stress, lack of sleep, lack of rest, and polluted air.
It is especially hard at the end of winter, when there are few vitamins left in the food and our poor food, together with rare sunny days, lead to a decrease in iron and, as a result, to poor health.
How to fix? Nutrition and medication. The latter must be prescribed by the attending physician, after analyzes and examination.
But with nourishment, we can help ourselves.
Is there really one liver? Not necessary. Here's a list of foods that can help keep your iron on track. Some of them will definitely surprise you.
Go!
Halva
Are you surprised?
Halva was invented in Iran in the 5th century BC. Nowadays, it is still popular as a delicious sweetness and delicacy.
In addition to the original oriental taste, it also contains vitamins, as well as a high iron content, so it is in the first place in the list of products for increasing the level of hemoglobin.
Halva is prepared from caramel mass, nuts and oil seeds. A similar delicacy is advised for nutrition during pregnancy, when sweets with chemistry are prohibited.
Citruses
Are you even more surprised?
And why citrus fruits do not even occur to almost anyone when they need to adjust their diet to increase hemoglobin? Riddle ...
Oranges and lemons are remembered only during colds and flu as a source of vitamin C.
But this is not all of their benefits, albeit the main one. In addition to the fact that these fruits protect the body from harmful external influences, they are still able to make up for the lack of iron.
The body poorly assimilates this mineral substance - iron, so it needs a favorable environment, which is provided by vitamin C.
By the way, the peel of citrus fruit contains 2 times more minerals and vitamins than the pulp.
Seaweed
Well, about the cabbage from the sea, someone has already heard... But that was about iodine. And we'll talk about iron.
And yes, seaweed contains the very iron that is easily absorbed by the body.
Kelp kelp strengthens our nervous system and has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart. In addition to iodine and iron, they also contain potassium with magnesium and bromine.
It is not necessary to eat a can of cabbage right away; a few spoons a day are enough to raise the level of hemoglobin in the blood.
Dates
Sweet, tasty and... useful! Many doctors recommend eating good dark chocolate and dates to improve blood quality.
And in the East, since ancient times, it was believed that if you use only dates and water, you can live 10-20 years longer. And the wise men were right.
A date snack can help energize your body with plenty of iron and fiber.
Important! Choose those fruits that look the worst. This does not mean that they are rotten. These dates dried on their own and were not soaked in sugar syrup before drying.
