Blood is a vital substance that saves the lives of patients. It is still impossible to produce artificially and can only be provided by people with love. Whenever people donate their precious and limited blood without paying for it, in exchange for the continuation or renewal of others' lives, our society has an additional care.
Benefits of blood donation
1. The total amount of blood in an adult is about 8% of body weight. A single donation of 200-400 ml of blood not only does not affect health, but also stimulates the body to produce new blood cells, which is beneficial to blood metabolism and enhances body immunity.
2. Before donating blood, the staff of the blood center will conduct a detailed health consultation with the donor, and after the donation, strict tests will be conducted on the blood specimen to screen for HIV, hepatitis B, syphilis and other diseases transmitted through blood. Therefore, each blood donation is equivalent to a free medical check-up.
3. Blood donation can effectively reduce the viscosity of blood. Adhering to long-term blood donation can significantly reduce blood viscosity and speed up blood flow, which is conducive to improving the body's blood and oxygen supply and maintaining normal physiological functions.
4. Regular and moderate blood donation can bring impurities, toxins and fats out of the blood, which can significantly reduce blood viscosity, thus reducing the incidence of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and alleviating or preventing hyperviscosity.
5, a large number of studies have shown that a healthy and cheerful mood is beneficial to the enhancement of human immunity and resistance.
Blood donation is absolutely safe. The needles and blood bags used by blood stations during blood collection are all disposable supplies approved by the relevant state departments and strictly sterilized, and each donor uses a new set of disposable blood bags when donating blood.
