Which juices can raise hemoglobin in the blood — Top 7 most useful

Low hemoglobin levels are a clear sign of iron deficiency in the blood (it is part of hemoglobin). The easiest way to increase its level is to eat animal products, in particular, liver, lungs of cattle.

A good alternative is to include juices in the diet.

According to research, fruit and vegetable juices improve blood composition, lower cholesterol and have cardioprotective properties.

And which of them are the best to increase hemoglobin? And are there any that reduce it? All the answers are below.

Why do I need to monitor my hemoglobin levels?

Hemoglobin is necessary for the body to transport oxygen through all organs and tissues. Accordingly, its low level provokes oxygen starvation, which accelerates the oxidation of nerve cells, slows down many metabolic processes (the same carbohydrates and fats, for example, are absorbed using oxygen and nitrogen), and inhibits regeneration processes.

Heart failure often develops against the background of low hemoglobin, since in this case the vessels lose their elasticity, their patency is impaired.

Low hemoglobin is quite common is accompanied by the following symptoms:

1. Increased fatigue ;
2. Shortness of breath;
3. Sleep disturbance (even prolonged sleep does not help to get proper a burst of cheerfulness );
4. Neuralgic disorders (decrease Stress resistance , exposure depression , neurosis );
5. Delayed reaction (as after taking somatic medications).

The body's reaction to low hemoglobin in each individual case is purely individual. For some, this is not accompanied by any painful symptoms at all, but at the same time the body is constantly under stress (which will necessarily affect work later of the brain and of the cardiovascular system ).

To normalize hemoglobin levels, it is necessary to follow a rational diet in order to provide the body with vitamins and other micronutrients. Vitamin C, A, E, PP, and B groups are necessary for the absorption of the same iron.

Top 7 most healthy juices

Almost all juices from red fruits and vegetables help to raise hemoglobin. The most "effective" among them is pomegranate, but you should not abuse it, especially with chronic hypertension.

1. Apple

Among the fruits common in the Russian Federation, it is apples are the richest in iron . But to increase hemoglobin, applesauce without pasteurization (without heat treatment) is better suited.

The recommended daily intake is 250-300 milliliters.

2. Pomegranate

Contains iron, vitamins E, A, B-groups. Pomegranate increases hemoglobin concentration , and also increases blood pressure, which will be extremely useful for hypotension (low blood pressure).

Doctors also claim that drinking pomegranate juice is an excellent prevention of migraine attacks.

Concentrated pomegranate juice should not be consumed – the ascorbic acid content in it is so high that it irritates the mucous membrane of the stomach and esophagus.

A more preferable option is to use such juice in diluted form (with a ratio of 1 to 2). And children under 12 years old should not be given it at all – it is better to eat pomegranate seeds fresh.

3. Beetroot

Beetroot juice is rich in iron, iodine, cobalt, manganese – all these elements are used by the body in the production of hemoglobin (as well as other shaped blood elements).

One of the features of beet juice is that it does not lose its useful properties during pasteurization or heat treatment. Therefore, even beetroot kvass will be useful for the circulatory system in the same way as freshly squeezed juice.

4. Carrot

There is no iron in carrot juice, but at the same time it is one of the best sources of vitamins A and E.

Carrots also contain thiamine, riboflavin (In ₁ and In ₂ ), niacin. All this is indirect Accelerates hemoglobin production (in the absence of iron deficiency).

5. Tomato

It consists of iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, iodine, chromium, fluorine, boron – such a mixture allows to comprehensively normalize the biochemical composition of blood.

And also in tomato juice a fairly large amount of organic acids that help to break down triglycerides in blood plasma – their excess often leads to a decrease in hemoglobin and the formation of blood clots in the supply vessels.

Tomato juice is one of the of the most beneficial juices for the cardiovascular system (but at the same time it is quite aggressive to the gastric mucosa – this nuance must be taken into account).

6. Grape

Grape juice is rich in iron, cobalt and provitamin A.

And at the same time, its use reduces blood sugar levels – this reduces the load on blood vessels, reduces the likelihood of side effects of low hemoglobin.

7. Strawberry

The iron content in this juice is not the highest among fruits, but it also contains copper, fluorine, boron, nickel and iodine, which help the body produce red blood cells. Strawberry juice should be consumed fresh, without diluting with water and without adding sugar.

By the way, the "late" strawberries, harvested last, are more useful.

 

What should be avoided?

The following juices lead to a slight decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood:

1. Sea buckthorn. Its abuse has a diuretic effect.
2. Blueberry. In case of anemia, it should be abandoned.

Conclusion

In total, the inclusion of juices in the diet will really help to improve blood composition, as well as reduce the likelihood of oxygen starvation of tissues and the brain. It is recommended to use all juices in freshly squeezed form, without heating, settling.
