My HB is 16.3 given range of 17 as highest. I eat Beet Root daily in my salads. Is there any danger of reaching above 17? Can beet root be harmful If I continue? What will happen if it goes above maximum range?

beet root is a good source of iron and help improve the hb. but in your case if the hb is already on the higher sideit is not advisable to eat it. high hb increases the viscosity of blood and tendency to clot.
