How do you raise the hemoglobin level?
First, determine the cause. In the U.S. (and the world) the most common cause of a high hemoglobin is smoking cigarettes. This is due to the fact that carbon monoxide (in the bloodstream, from the inhaled smoke) binds to hemoglobin, therefore not allowing enough oxygen to bind. The body responds by manufacturing more hemoglobin in order to compensate. So, if you smoke, stopping smoking will take care of this problem. If smoking is not in the equation, then hemochromatosis, or other conditions could be in play. Consult your physician in the case of a high hemoglobin and being a nonsmoker.
