The benefits of blood donation are as follows:
It orients the donor towards positive thinking.
Boosts the production of red blood cells- As the old blood cells are removed, the body produces new ones. This is a healthy activity and does not affect your health. Infact blood donation is recommended after every 6 months.
Helps in weight loss- You burn 650 calories with every pint of blood donated.
Replenishes blood- Your body makes about 2 million new red cells every second, so it doesn’t take long to build up stores of them again.
