Hemoglobin is a compound of iron andprotein, contained in red blood cells. Its main function is to deliver oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body and to remove carbon dioxide. The lower the level of hemoglobin, the worse the system of supplying organs and tissues with oxygen, as a result of which they age, wither and cease to function fully.

Lack of hemoglobin in the blood causes anemia,which leads to deterioration of the general condition of the body: fatigue, fatigue, drowsiness, headaches, shortness of breath, palpitations, sleep disturbance, depressive conditions. Externally, a low level of hemoglobin is manifested in dry skin, hair loss, brittle nails, cracking and pale lips.

Lack of hemoglobin leads to a commonweakening of the body, reducing protective barriers, exposure to various infections. The immune system malfunctions, even an elementary cold can cause serious complications. In some cases, because of muscle relaxation, urinary incontinence occurs.

A low level of hemoglobin is especially dangerous forpregnant women. The body requires more iron, which is needed to provide oxygen to the organs and tissues of the future mother and fetus. Hemoglobin when bearing a baby falls very quickly and immediately begins to negatively affect the fetus. Due to lack of oxygen (hypoxia), the baby does not get enough nutrition and can slow down or stop development altogether.

In addition, fetal hypoxia threatens to impairthe cerebral cortex and the nervous system as a whole, the atrophy of various organs and muscles. Therefore, pregnant women should monitor the level of hemoglobin in the blood and, if necessary, urgently fill the iron deficiency in the body.

To maintain hemoglobin in normal, beforeall you need is to eat properly and inject more foods rich in iron into the diet: liver, beef, veal, turkey, eggs, wheat flour, buckwheat, legumes, dried apricots, apples, pomegranate etc. Of products of animal origin, iron is digested better than from vegetable, and in addition, for its full absorption is recommended to simultaneously eat vegetables and fruits with a high content of vitamin C.

A healthy lifestyle promotes conservationhemoglobin is normal. You need to walk more, walk in the fresh air, play sports, relax in nature. However, if the level of hemoglobin becomes lower with proper diet and high motor activity, it is urgent to consult a doctor and start taking iron preparations.
