hemoglobin range for male - #18246
I recently got a routine blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my hemoglobin levels were slightly below normal. I wasn’t feeling particularly sick, but I had noticed that I was getting tired more often and feeling short of breath even with mild activity. When I checked my reports, I saw that my hemoglobin was 12.5 g/dL. The doctor said that the hemoglobin range for male should ideally be between 13.8 and 17.2 g/dL, which means I am slightly anemic. I have been wondering what could be causing this. My diet isn’t the best—I skip meals sometimes, and I don’t eat a lot of iron-rich foods. I also drink a lot of tea, which I read can block iron absorption. Could this be why my hemoglobin levels are low? Instead of taking iron supplements, I want to try improving my levels naturally with Ayurveda. What are the best Ayurvedic remedies for increasing hemoglobin? I have heard about herbs like Punarnava and Ashwagandha—do they help in boosting blood levels? Also, does Ayurveda suggest any specific foods or juices to improve the hemoglobin range for male? Another thing I want to understand is whether digestion plays a role in low hemoglobin. I sometimes have acidity and indigestion—could that be affecting my ability to absorb iron? Does Ayurveda recommend any treatments to improve nutrient absorption and blood formation naturally? Additionally, I read that low hemoglobin can sometimes be due to internal imbalances, not just diet. Could this be a sign of weak Agni or a dosha imbalance? If so, how can I correct this through Ayurveda? I really want to avoid chemical supplements and find a holistic, long-term solution to maintaining a healthy hemoglobin range for male. Please provide Ayurvedic guidance on how I can naturally increase my hemoglobin levels and maintain overall blood health.
