Count me as one of your counter-experience people. Kale =*yuck*. To me, kale tastes like urine smells. Disgusting stuff. I'd rather eat brussel sprouts which are not, trust me, high on my list of foods I enjoy. Spinach, now, spinach is delish! Raw, in a salad with orange segments, bacon bits and a bacon-grease-based vinagriette *yum* Sauteed fast in butter and dressed with a bit of lemon *yum* In a chicken broth with cheese-filled tortellinis *yum* Stuffed into chicken breast with provolone cheese *yum*.
A slightly low hemoglobin count isn't always a sign of illness, it may be normal for some people. Women who are pregnant commonly have low hemoglobin counts. A low hemoglobin level count is generally defined as less than 13.5 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter (135 grams per liter) of blood for men and less than 12 grams per deciliter (120 grams per liter) for women. In children, the definition varies with age and sex.
What Does Low Hemoglobin Mean? Low hemoglobin means that a person's hemoglobin level when measured, is below the lowest limits of normal for their age and sex (see above normal range of values). For example, a 19 year old male would have low hemoglobin if the detected blood value was below 13.6 g/dl.
