Any Suggestion to increase HB?

[chanting]

I tried to take red date 3 days before my donation but it wont really help.
But when I take durian 3 days before, my HB lvl shoot up to 13.5....that's was a miracle for me coz everytime my HB lvl is between 11.5 - 12.5.
I tried it twice and it helps.

Any Suggestion that you want to recommend for what to eat (excluding Durian) to increase the HB lvl? (vegetarian, no meat plz)

Shan Xue, any reason why Durian can increase the HB lvl? can guide on this?

chanting,

Thanks for the recommendation on durian. Durian is rich in iron and is one of the most nutritious fruit around.

People who are prone to sore throat after taking durian may not be suitable.

to increase the HB level, can take organic molasses or Floradix or the iron supplement given by the blood bank. these have worked for some people.

other food i can think of is wheatgrass juice, spirulina, beet root, red dragon fruit, vegetable juice, long gan, red brown rice, red bean, watermelon.

iron absorption increases with the presence of vitamin C. so take with vitamin C supplement or vitamin C rich food.

Some of these things are hard to find and not that super effective than durian, perhaps more easier things to be subtitute by Whole durian(which might be a bit difficult to find) is Durian Puff which can be use as a subtitute for real Durian and can be purchase in the bakery store .... I tried once too and it is effective, but you gonna half loft and a day before donation.

As for the Iron tablet, i dont even want to take from them because I seldom want to take medication before or after the donation due to non-effective.
After donation, our body can replenish the blood lost after drinking lots of water.

Thz for the suggestion!
