how to increase hemoglobin by eating only veg and fruits ,but no meat,no fish , no chicken and no egg?

Answer 1

I am not a vegetarian but not that fond of red meat either and have always had an iron problem. In the past I was told that red beet was one of the best sources of iron and that you should always try to have orange jiuce with meals as it helps absorption. The following is a link to info on vegetarian sources of Iron and other minerals and vitamins as well.

Answer 2

You could take iron supplements also. I think legumes also help increase hemoglobin. Ok, just looked it up, I put a link at the bottom of this that is actually a forum, but... it has suggestions from other people that needed to bring their hemoglobin levels up also. You should find this helpful.

Answer 3

Sure! Just make sure you are eating good sources of iron, which is the basis for hemoglobin.

According to my source: "...whole grains, enriched breads, cereals and potatoes are all good sources of iron."

And... "Other foods valuable for their iron content include green leafy vegetables, dried fruits, legumes (peas, beans, lentils) and molasses."

Check my source for more info.

Hope this helps!
