5. Lentils: In order to optimize the oxygen transportation faculties of the lungs, healthy hemoglobin
levels are absolutely critical. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule that is found in red blood cells and aids in
transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissue. As an added benefit, hemoglobin stimulates the
internal processes that returns carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be expelled from the body. Black
beans, cow peas, dried peas, lentils, red kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and soybeans are some foods
containing properties that raise hemoglobin levels. Additionally, supplement beans and lentils with
vitamin-C rich foods to maximize iron absorption
