Surprising benefits of donating blood

By Rishabh Raj

1

Reduced risk of heart attacks

Donating blood regularly can lower blood pressure, prevent blood clots, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

2

Free health screening

During this screening, if someone has some hidden health issues like high blood pressure or a heart condition like atrial fibrillation, they can take timely medical advice.

3

Prevents hemochromatosis

Donating blood can lower the risk of hemochromatosis, a condition where the body absorbs too much iron. It helps prevent iron overload and keeps you healthier.

4

New blood cells

Blood donation helps refresh and renew blood cells, with the body creating new ones to replace those donated within 30 to 60 days, promoting overall health and vitality.

5

Mental wellness

Donating blood not only saves multiple lives but also improves mental well-being and decreases depression in donors.
