we were asked to donate blood during our orientation week in nysc camp. I declined thinking i was going to collapse after donating or i might get one health complication or the other. Not until my friend's child needed blood,that i got to know the benfits of blood donation and my blood group(after all this years). Here is what the nice lady in the modern vampire profession told about blood donation

Saving a life can be the ultimate good one can do in this life. I might not be a phlilantropist like bill gate or a world-class surgeon or jack bauer, but i can donate my blood;my life source to save a life.

Having a medical checkup for free,is like seeing the questions before a major exam. With blood donation, you spend nothing (okay,maybe t.p to the hospital) to get a mini-physical that our politicians spend much money to have abroad. you get to know your blood level,weight, blood pressure,blood group,h.iv status,fitness level(no wonder i can go all night long.lol ) and many more,all for free.

She said if you want a plant to grow beautiful and flowery,what do you do? I said you water it. Yes,we eat good food everyday but do we prune and trim our system,like we do our gardens? Blood donation creates way for the production of new and fresh blood cells within 4-8 weeks of donation,letting the body function effectively.

Blood donation reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases,through a reduction in iron levels. High iron levels accelerates the oxidation of choresterol. Like good s..x,blood donation leaves you feeling refreshed and whole.

Donate blood today,you might just be saving a life.

I subscribe will be going for my second round of donation @ NBTS tomorrow.
