Dr. Zhang Heyang
Abnormally elevated hemoglobin concentration often leads to increased blood viscosity. Patients are at high risk of developing various cardiovascular diseases. In severe cases, it may even result in death, so this condition must be taken seriously. Hemoglobin levels are closely related to daily diet and eating habits. To improve high hemoglobin levels, dietary adjustments are essential. Reduce intake of fish, lean meat, shrimp, and similar foods, while increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables and ensuring adequate hydration. Eat smaller meals more frequently and avoid catching colds. Regular physical exercise is also crucial to enhance immunity.
