Hi, hemoglobin 6 mg is too less for a male. Heathy range is 13 - 17 mg in males. Pls. Consult a good doctor. Besides natural foods with high iron content, your father needs to be given few iron injections (under doctor's recommendation), Sources of iron include red meat, organ meat such as kidney and livers, beans, lentils, dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, dried prunes, dried raisins and egg yolks.
