so i was looking at my blood work again and noticed a difference in the HGB results. i dont know what that is. so of course, i googled it. HGB stands for hemoglobin. its is a protein in your blood that carries the oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, and the carbon dioxide from the tissues to the blood. having both high and low amount is dangerous because it can be a sign of many diseases. however, being on the higher end of the normal range can be good because it means there are a lot of cells moving oxygen.
one of the articles i read says normal, for women, is between 12.1 and 15.1. my count in 2011 was 12.9. my count yesterday was 14.4! so although fortunately my HGB levels have never shown a sign of disease i am super excited theyve raised(and are still in the normal range). that means theres more oxygen flowing thru my blood which must one reason why catching my breath and exercising longer have become easier! SCORE! i love physical proof! i wish i had had more tests done!! like on the biggest loser they measure EVERYTHING and theres so much to compare.
