I've been planning for a long time to donate blood but I kept delaying it. But tomorrow morning I will be at the hospital :)
There are a lot of benefits of donating blood. I've been searching on the web and I found a good post on livestrong.com which enumerates some of the benefits of the donation:
- you get a physical, you get a basic physical from a health care worker at the blood collection clinic
- lower iron levels every time you give blood, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease
- reduce cancer risk
- reduce heart attack risk
- help your body function more efficiently by allowing it to replenish your blood supply regularly
- if you have high blood pressure it is recommended to donate blood regularly
