Home Remedies to Increase Hemoglobin, Natural Treatment
Hemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory system to the rest of the body. Hemoglobin is a bidirectional respiratory transporter that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and facilitates the return transport of carbon dioxide.
Hemoglobin has two parts- the heme and the globin. The heme contains iron and transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues as well as takes carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs. Globin, a complex macromolecule is a protein that helps to keep the hemoglobin liquefied. It is important to maintain the hemoglobin level in the body as if your hemoglobin is too low, you may not be able to supply the other cells in your body with the oxygen they need to survive resulting in many health issues. To lead a normal healthy life it’s very important to have a balanced diet to maintain and increase hemoglobin level.
