Donate blood while you can

Hi friends and readers,

This morning I went to the Hospital to donate blood. I usually donate once a year and the feeling is great. Sadly not many will go to donate unless it is required or someone from the family or friends needs the blood prior a surgery.
I really like to donate my blood for 2 things, first for helping people that might need it because of surgeries or accidents. Second, I like to keep my self healthy and be able to donate encourage me to keep working to improve my health to be able to donate. It is not a huge thing to do but I know that it saves lives.

I encourage you to do the same people that really need the blood can use it to recover and you will be helping them without knowing. It just like 1 hour of your time but you are also giving someone else a whole life and a second chance. Try to do it as frequent as possible. It is also good for your health as blood is constantly generated and easy to recover.

Tips before donating

• Light breakfast or meal.
• Avoid fat, eggs, milk, cheese or anything that had milk.
• Drink water and liquids the day before and try to keep other not healthy foods away.
• Do not drink alcohol.
• Try to exercise a little bit, maybe walk few minutes a day.

Tips after donating

• Light meal after donation, keep drinking water and liquids to recover blood faster.
• Drink tea.
• Eat fruits.
• Do not exercise that day.
• Do not drink alcohol for a 1 and do not smoke for couple hours after donation.
• Encourage friends to donate.

Thanks for reading, have a great day and lets do something good to make this world better everyday.
