Chee Seng, was persuaded by me to donate blood together. He ended up skipping class because of it.
Each of us was awarded with a cup of hot milo + a chocolate muffin.
Important !!!
Donors are discouraged from heavy exercise or lifting for several hours.
Plasma volumes will return to normal in around 24 hours, while red blood cells are replaced by bone marrow into the circulatory system within about 3-5 weeks, and lost iron replaced over 6-8 weeks.
This recovery process can be accelerated by eating foods high in complex carbohydrates, iron, and other trace minerals. Due to the timeframe required for iron replacement, donors are eligible to donate whole blood approximately eight to twelve weeks after the previous donation.
Benefits.
Donating blood may reduce the risk of heart disease for men and stimulate the generation of red blood cells.
The amount of toxic chemicals (e.g. mercury, pesticides, fire retardants) circulating in the blood stream is reduced by the amount contained in given blood.
