Hemoglobin?
Question:
Answers:
Your haem levels are basically the level of haemoglobin in your blood. Haemoglobin is the part that carries oxygen to your body's cells, so is obviously very important.
When haem levels get too low, not enough oxygen gets to your cells, leading to breathlessness, excessive tiredness and when it's severe, can actually affect your periods.
A diet low in protein or iron, copper or zinc can cause haem levels to dip, as can blood loss (such as while on a period).
The best thing to do is have a diet high in iron-rich foods (such as lean red meats, and dark green leafy vegetable) and ALWAYS follow any meat with something containing vitamin C - your body cannot absorb iron without vitamin C, so even if you do have a diet already rich in iron, you're probably not absorbing it correctly.
It means you have anemia (not enough iron in your blood). Depending on how severe it is, you can just eat more iron rich food (dark veggies etc) or you may have to take iron tablets.
