How do I bring my hemoglobin down?

If your hemoglobin levels are high, it’s important to address the underlying cause. Here are some general steps you can take:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help dilute your blood and lower hemoglobin levels.
• Dietary Changes: Reduce iron-rich foods like red meat, spinach, and fortified cereals. Avoid vitamin C supplements, as they can increase iron absorption.
• Exercise: Regular physical activity can help improve blood circulation and reduce hemoglobin levels.
• Medical Treatment: If high hemoglobin is due to a medical condition like polycythemia vera, your doctor may recommend treatments such as phlebotomy (removing blood) or medications.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
