Benefits Of Giving Blood

By Chet Sandeksi


There is never enough blood in hospitals. If you look around you will find plenty of opportunities to donate blood. While this is true, there are still some out there that hesitate to donate. Here are some reasons why you should donate your blood often. Sense of Fulfillment There is no greater sense of fulfillment then when we give a part of ourselves and we don't exactly know who it will go to.

Seeing as how multiple visits to the doctor can quickly get expensive, it's a good idea to go to the doctor's office with certain things in mind that will help you make the best of your visit. Keep reading if you want to know what some of those things might be.

Be Comprehensive Your doctor will mention possible complications that might result from any of your ongoing medical issues, but it is your responsibility to make sure he knows about all your symptoms.

People don't usually keep things from their doctor consciously, but it can easy to simply forget certain symptoms you may have experienced when you're in the doctor's office. A good way to combat this is to keep a record of any sensations or feelings you may experience. That way, you can quickly look over them before you go to the doctor's office.

Lowers Heart Disease Risk When you give blood it lowers the levels of iron in the blood which decreases the amount of oxidative damage. This is the reason that women are less likely to have heart attacks than men, especially when they experience bleeding with their periods.

Take Charge While doctors have all the training, never forget that you are the patient. You are the one dealing with the symptoms and the results of any medical issues you may be experiencing. Usually doctors are good at remembering this, but sometimes their diagnosis can be more technical rather than taking you into account.

So don't be afraid to speak up. Always treat your doctor with respect, but make sure that he or she knows your situation. And if they have forgotten, don't be afraid to remind them. Also, always remember that you are paying money and taking time out of your day to find the best possible way to keep you healthy. If anything that your doctor suggests makes you feel uncomfortable, ensure that you make it known.

Sometimes your options might not be as varied as you would like, but often there are many different ways to deal with medical issues, so don't be afraid to give your opinion regarding what you may think of them.

Free Snacks If you are looking for a quick snack, then giving blood can be a good way to do it. After you finish giving blood they offer all sorts of wonderful sugary substances. This makes it all worth sitting there giving your blood.

Part of making sure you are healthy is being able to talk freely about what you are feeling. While many people feel comfortable with their doctors, they don't always go out of their way to talk about how they are doing, so make sure you do, and the health benefits will surely follow.
