Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Low hemoglobin could be due to iron deficiency commonly, but can also be vit B12. Correlation with peripheral smear or red cell indices is necessary.
2. Nutrition rich in ragi, pulses, fish, red meat and eggs etc will help with improvement.
3. Along with mild exercises and regular medication is necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
