		<description><![CDATA[Hemoglobin is a very important compound for the proper functioning of your body. It is responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide through your bloodstream. Without the necessary levels of hemoglobin, all of the organs of the body would die out. The most common cause of low hemoglobin levels is an iron deficiency. Meat and vegetables are normally recommended to replenish the body's iron stores, but eating the right fruits can help just as much. Some fruits contain iron themselves, while others improve the body's ability to absorb iron from other food.]]></description>

Red blood cells are red because of hemoglobin.The amount of hemoglobin you need is based on age and gender. Men need between 14 and 18 gm/dL and women need 12 to 16 gm/dL. Your needs decrease with age. If your hemoglobin levels are too low,  you may have anemia, which can leave your feeling fatigued or short of breath. Once your doctor determines the cause of your anemia, you'll be able to develop a treatment plan to raise hemoglobin levels.]]></description>

Anemia can be caused by a lack of hemoglobin; normal adult hemoglobin levels are above 13 g/dL. Anemia may leave you feeling tired or fatigued, pale and short of breath. Although genetics or an underlying illness can cause anemia, it's often diet-related and can be reversed with dietary changes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A blood test determines your hemoglobin level. It is a standard part of a complete blood count, or CBC, and is measured when you have a routine medical check-up. There is a direct correlation between hemoglobin levels and red blood cells. The level increases when your body produces more red blood cells; it drops when the body produces less, destroys more or you bleed. The normal hemoglobin value differs between males and females, and is affected by other factors such as lifestyle, environment and age.]]></description>

Two are alpha globulin, and two are beta globulin chains. The normal hemoglobin values for adult men range from 14gm/dl to 18 gm/dl. The normal hemoglobin values for adult women range from 12gm/dl to 16 gm/dl. Values can slightly decrease with age. Hemoglobin levels can be raised through diet, exercise and medications.]]></description>
