The Perks of Being a Regular Blood Donor

Saving lives is a noble act and probably the greatest deed ever! Not everyone could do it. This the is reason why doctors and other medical care professionals earn utmost respect in the society. What if you come to know that you too have the ability to save lives? Wouldn't that make you feel great? The act of donating blood enables you save lives and become the differential factor between the life and death. 

Of course, donating blood is a great act and you don't probably need a special reason to do it. A small amount of this vital fluid (300ml to 400ml) could save more than 3 lives, per unit. If you are a person who is above 18 years and healthy, you too could do it and become a life-savior of many people. 

The human body consists of 4.75 liters to 5.50 liters of blood, on an average. The doctors will collect mere 400 ml on an average per donation. The donated blood gets generated again in the body within 24 hours. Doctors suggest that a healthy person can donate blood once in every 3 months. This applies to both male and female. 

There are many speculations and theories that prevent people from donating blood. Blood donation has zero side-effects on the body. In fact, the regular donation can increase the health of the blood and circulation system. Here are other benefits of blood donation you may want to have a look. 

Refreshes the Internal System - The body loses around 400ml of blood after a donation. The body works on the reproduction of blood right away in order to meet the demands of the organs. The newly created blood refills with the new components of the blood. The systematic coordination between the internal organs is tested on a regular basis whenever the blood is donated. 

Regular Health Tests - The tests conducted before the blood donation make sure that the person is physically fit and is eligible to donate the blood. This is a good indication of a healthy internal system. Medical researchers are suggesting to undergo the medical tests for every 3 months. As blood donation could be done once in every 3 months, individuals can get both the blood donation and tests at the same time. 

Respect Among Others - The blood receiver may not come to you express his/her gratitude but the people around you will definitely recognize your selfless contribution towards the society. You will be recognized for this in your neighborhood and in your workplace. The special recognition is for that everyone can donate blood and it's a simple act, but takes a great heart to do it on a regular basis. 

You can Save Lives - The feeling of saving someone's life by helping them when they are fighting for life is one of the greatest feels ever. If you are a regular blood donor, the feeling of saving lives helps you have a better and positive approach towards your life. 

Blood donation is a simple yet a great act. You could save more than 3 lives per month by spending just 1 hour at the donation camp. Make yourself convenient today and make up your mind to become a frequent blood donor to save lives. 

It would be a heartwarming scene when the receiver meets the donor. Blood donation is another example of the existence of humanity. This noble act does not require a higher societal status or money from your pocket. All it takes is a heart for it!
