I recently took a haemoglobin test and it is at 8.2 (normal female range is 12-14). What should I do to increase the levels? I'm 21.
Okay, thanks for the advice. Are there any other things I should avoid eating or drinking that would make my haemoglobin levels worse?
Yes, certain foods and drinks can actually inhibit your body's ability to absorb iron. For example, tea and coffee can interfere with iron absorption, so you should avoid drinking them with meals or taking iron supplements. Calcium-rich foods like dairy products and calcium supplements can also inhibit iron absorption, so it's best to take them separately from iron-rich foods and supplements.
