My haemoglobin level came back as 11.8, which I know is a bit lower than normal. Should I be making an appointment to see a doctor or would it be enough to just add more iron and vitamins to my meals?
With a hemoglobin level of 11.8, which is slightly below the normal range, you can start by incorporating iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, lentils, and fortified cereals, as well as vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits and bell peppers to enhance iron absorption
