Things you can do to help manage your low red blood count:

Rest between activities.
Plan ahead and save your energy for the most important activities.
Avoid or stop activities that make you short of breath or make your heart beat faster.
Ask others for help.
Eat a diet with adequate protein and vitamins.
Drink plenty of non-caffeinated and non-alcoholic fluids


Eat red meat contains a significant amounts of iron. If fat is a reason that you do not eat red meat, try eating extra lean meat. Liver is an excellent source of iron. (see table)

Eat a lot of iron rich cereal. Many cereals are fortified with iron. Check the food label on the box and look for iron under the daily values.

You should also avoid drinking tea with your meals that are high in iron. Tea contains tannin that could inhibit the absorption of iron.

A good policy is to monitor what you eat. You must know exactly what your diet is, having a brief written food intake list, if you wish to enhance or improve it.

Olympic runners, especially those who live in areas that are at sea level, train in the mountains. The level of oxygen decreases with elevation. By training in the lower oxygen-level areas, their bodies adapt by producing more red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen to all the other cells in your body. Olympic runners do this so that when they return to sea level, their ability to transport oxygen increases because of the additional red blood cells in the bodies. This allows them to perform for longer periods of time without muscle fatigue, which is a condition that occurs due to oxygen depletion during strenuous activity.

one way you can do this is by living in higher elevations. because of the lack of oxygen the higher above sea level you are you're body has to compensate. as a result your red blood cell count increases. granted you're not really going to notice a difference unless you drop elevation pretty drastically.

Take an iron supplement. Have you had a CBC (complete blood count) done lately? Do you need to increase you RBC's due to doctor's advice? If not then just eating right will keep your RBC's at the correct levels. Doesn't hurt to take a multivitamin either.
