Hey there, lovely mom-to-be! Pregnancy can be a whirlwind, right? From the excitement of baby kicks to the not-so-fun morning sickness, there’s a lot to handle. One common concern during this special period? Hemoglobin levels. Now, if you’re thinking, “Hemo-what?”, don’t fret. We’re about to dive deep into this topic and explore ways to boost your hemoglobin levels during pregnancy. Brought to you by the fertility experts at India IVF Fertility, with clinics in Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon.
Intake of Vitamin C
Citrus fruits are not just about that tangy kick. Vitamin C plays a pivotal role in enhancing the body’s ability to absorb iron, essential for hemoglobin production. So, squeeze some oranges, lemons, or indulge in strawberries!
Exercise
Sure, you might feel like a waddling penguin right now, but trust us, a bit of light exercise can do wonders. It promotes circulation, ensuring your body efficiently utilizes the iron it receives.
Beetroot
Mama, be ready to paint the town red, or at least your salads and juices. Beetroot is a powerhouse, boosting both hemoglobin and overall health. They’re nature’s candy with benefits!
Consumption of Green Leafy Vegetables
Spinach, kale, and fenugreek – no, we’re not making a green smoothie, but we’re talking about foods packed with iron and folic acid. A delightful way to give your hemoglobin that upward nudge.
Proteins
Your body is a temple, and protein acts as its pillars, especially during pregnancy. Eggs, tofu, lentils, and lean meats not only amp up the hemoglobin but also ensure baby’s robust development.
Level of Iron
We can’t stress this enough: iron is the star of the show when talking about hemoglobin. Consider iron supplements, but remember to consult with a healthcare expert.
Amla
Who knew this tiny green fruit could be a hemoglobin hero? Amla, or Indian gooseberry, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, is a fantastic addition to your diet.
