Varinder KaurMom of 2 children3 weeks agoA. A hemoglobin level of 9 g/dL is considered low (the normal range is typically 12–16 g/dL for women and 14–18 g/dL for men). This level usually indicates anemia, often caused by a deficiency in iron, folate, or vitamin B12.
1. Increase Iron Intake
The most common cause of low hemoglobin is iron deficiency.
Animal Sources (Heme Iron): More easily absorbed. Include red meat (beef, lamb), poultry, fish, and organ meats like liver.
Plant Sources (Non-Heme Iron): Leafy greens (spinpeas), beans, and fortified cereals.
2. Maximize Absorption with Vitamin C
Your body absorbs iron much better when paired with Vitamin C.
Drink a glass of orange juice or add lemon
juice to your meals.
