1. When a healthy person donates blood, generation of new blood gets stimulated. Depending on the donor’s body weight, from 350 to 450 ml blood is taken at a time. Normally a human body has 5 to 6 litres of blood. Therefore, this small amount of blood taken from one’s body will not affect one’s health. Instead, it stimulates the production of blood in the bone marrow of the person.
2. Fresh blood is produced in the body. It improves the blood circulation of the body, physical action and the memory power of the person.
3. Cholesterol (fat) content in the blood gets decreased. As the old blood cells give way to new blood cells cholesterol content in the blood gets reduced.
4. Blood donation helps prevent heart attacks. This has been demonstrated by research studies. Therefore, it is desirable that by donating blood heart attacks can be prevented by those who are prone to heart diseases.
5. Blood donation helps prevent high blood pressure and other cardiac problems.
6. More than anything else, the blood donor gets the supreme satisfaction of saving a few human lives. The self gratification and the sense fulfilment that one gets from blood donation is unparalleled.
