If you're looking for the bargain of the century, we've got a deal for you, donate blood and receive a whole bunch of amazing benefits. Amazing benefits that might just save your life. They're the best reasons to donate blood. Here are a few of them you should to know.
1. Weight loss influence by blood donation
Nothing is more humans than loving food. But if you find your waistline expanding, perhaps you should do something about it. By donating blood, you burn 650 calories and lose a pound for every pint of donated blood. And all you need to do is lie down for awhile. No work, and all the gain.
2. Free health check-ups
The medical crew at blood donation drives will give you a mini-physical. They'll tell you important stuff about your blood type, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and more. This beats going to a GP and actually paying all that money for the same service.
3. First class hospital wards
If you're admitted into a hospital for any reason, comfort is central. In Malaysia, if you donate blood a certain amount of times, you'll be entitled to free treatment in a first class hospital ward. Of course you'll have to donate blood at the National Blood Centre or associated hospitals.
4. Hepatitis B vaccination
Hepatitis B is no joke – it can destroy your liver.. So it's best to get yourself vaccinated against it. If you donate blood twice in one year, you'll be given the Hepatitis B vaccine for free! Again, this only applies to blood donations at the National Blood Centre in your country or associated hospitals.
5. Replenished blood cells
Donating blood depletes your body of red blood cells, forcing your bone marrow to create new ones. It's kind of like the 'refresh' button in Internet browsers. Your body is refreshed, updated, and becomes better at doing things. You're a new man / woman!
6. Reduced risk of cancer
Cancer is arguably the disease that most people fear the most. The latest cancer statistics worldwide based on GLOBOCAN 2012 are presented in the links below. The aim is to show how cancer varies around the worldwide in terms of numbers, rates and types of cancer. As we consume unhealthy foods like processed meat and breathe in polluted air, our cancer risk increases from day to day. But if you consistently donate blood, you can lower your risk of cancer in the colon, stomach, lung, liver, and throat. You know what they say. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
7. Reduced risk of heart disease
Heart disease has been the number one cause of death in decade of the years. But don't worry, there's hope. Donating blood substantially cuts your risk of heart attacks and heart disease. Here's how. Heart disease has been linked to your blood's iron levels. Too much iron thickens your blood, causing it to damage your arteries in the long run. When you donate blood, you remove excess iron from your body, keeping your blood thin and manageable for your arteries.
8. Brings us all together
This is the most important reason to donate blood. Blood donations are great reminders that deep down we are all the same, we are all part of humanity. Our many social and cultural differences are irrelevant during medical situations where blood is needed. So as we come together and unity runs in our blood. The colour of our blood is the only colour that truly matters. We are all red underneath.
Show your commitment to a united worlds about blood donations now. To make sure your health is healthy, donating blood is good for you.
