Seema has a hemoglobin level of 6 g/dl. Which deficiency is she prone to? What items should she include in her diet?

Normal hemoglobin levels in men are between 13.5 and 17.5 g/dl. Normal hemoglobin levels in women are between 12 and 15.5 g/dl.

Seema has a hemoglobin level of 6 g/dl. This is well below the normal values for women. Seema is likely experiencing anemia. Anemia is a decrease in the blood's ability to carry oxygen. 

While anemia may be caused by a variety of conditions, the most common is iron-deficiency anemia. An increase in consumption of iron-rich foods can correct iron-deficiency anemia. Red meats, poultry and fish are excellent sources of iron. Many plants and grains also contain iron, but in smaller amounts than meat. Seema ought to increase her meat consumption. 

However, Seema should also visit a doctor to make sure that diet alone is the cause of her anemia.
