Hemoglobin concentration is high

Hemoglobin is a protein responsible for carrying oxygen in higher organisms and is the protein that makes blood red. Oxygen is bound to iron atoms and transported in the blood. The characteristics of hemoglobin are: it easily combines with oxygen in places with high oxygen content; and it easily separates from oxygen in places with low oxygen content. This characteristic of hemoglobin enables red blood cells to transport oxygen.

Hemoglobin concentration directly affects people's physical health. High hemoglobin concentration reduces the body's ability to transport oxygen, which is very harmful to the body. So what should we do if the hemoglobin concentration is too high? Let's take a look.

1. You should pay attention to adjusting your diet structure. It is best not to eat animal liver, scaleless fish and fatty meat, eat less peanuts, melon seeds and other oil-rich nuts, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, do more outdoor sports, etc.

2. For hemoglobin caused by pathological reasons, you must go to the hospital to check the cause in time, and only symptomatic treatment can cure the disease.

3. Drinking a glass of warm, light salt water on an empty stomach every morning can help dilute the blood.

Under physiological conditions, about 1/120 of the human body's red blood cells die every day, and at the same time, another 1/120 of the red blood cells are produced, maintaining a dynamic balance between the production and death of red blood cells. This balance can be disrupted for a variety of reasons, resulting in a decrease or increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Therefore, when you find that your hemoglobin concentration is abnormal, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.
