Question

Iron will only improve your haemaglobin level if you are known to have an iron deficiency anaemia (have you actually been diagnosed with this?). If you are very anaemic, the doctor will probably give you an iron injection immediately. If you are only mildly iron deficient just eat high iron foods like red meat, dairy, eggs etc. Vitamin C and alcohol both increase the rate of iron absorption, so eat lots of fruit and vegetables and have some red wine as well. If you are not iron deficient, don't go taking iron tablets unnecessarily because too much iron is actually bad for you. Eat healthy foods, take a-Z capsule daily one for 30 days , eat fruits, drink milk before sleep ,continue if doesn't increase you have to investigate proper diagnosis. Avoiding Certain Foods
Meanwhile other foods you need to have less of as they can block the absorption of iron. These include tea, coffee, high fiber foods, high calcium foods such as milk and cheese, and certain medications.
If your anemia is not caused merely by low iron, but is a result of another medical condition then of course the best way to address this problem is to address the cause of the anemia ? that means seeking medical attention if you notice these symptoms. Eat Iron
Firstly, it is possible to increase hemoglobin by increasing your intake of iron and this will improve your red blood cell count. You can increase iron in your diet by supplementing with over the counter tablets, or by using prescription medication by seeing a doctor and getting a blood test. Otherwise you can increase iron by simply increasing the iron in your diet. Foods that have high amounts of iron in them include eggs, green vegetables (such as broccoli or famously spinach), red meat, dried fruits, nuts, beans, liver, pork, fish and shell fish.
Other Foods
Other foods should also be sought out. For instance you should take more vitamin B which can also increase hemoglobin (as a supplement or from cereals, fruits, vegetables and milk), vitamin C (sources include citrus fruits and juices) which helps with the absorption of iron, and beet which can stimulate hemoglobin production.

Hi, there are certain natural ways to increase hemoglobin. Depending on the reason behind the drop in hemoglobin, there are natural remedies that can effectively restore hemoglobin to normal or even to optimal levels. Eat spinach. Spinach is a rich source of iron. It can be eaten or its juice can be drunk. Iron supplementation. There are many iron supplements available in the market to help increase hemoglobin count. Vitamin C supplementation. Iron cannot be fully absorbed by the body without vitamin C. Folate and folic acid supplementation. These are important supplements for women who have reached the age of menstruation especially during their child-bearing years. Juice of beetroot. This has been used to naturally treat anemia. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. This diet should be composed of foods rich in iron such as spinach, fortified cereals and breads, tuna, fish, liver, raisins, green beans and so on. Avoid eating or taking-in foods that can naturally lower iron-levels in the body such as caffeine and chocolate. Practice exercising. Exercise motives the body to produce more hemoglobin to meet the increasing demands of the body for oxygen. Seek medical consult. Especially when hemoglobin levels do not respond to natural remedies.
