Raise your haemoglobin level, here are some iron-rich juices to boost health

Haemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells in the body. Haemoglobin helps to transport oxygen to various organs and cells and to transport carbon dioxide from these organs and cells back to the lungs. It is estimated that a healthy person has 12 to 20 grams of haemoglobin per 100 milliliters of blood. Haemoglobin is needed to provide energy to the body, improve immunity and regulate body temperature. Not having enough iron in the diet can lead to low haemoglobin levels and fatigue.
