Tips On Keeping Blood Healthy

If you have a Sang you donate to regularly, please remember a few simple things. Eat well! This means the dreaded leafy greens, lean red meats, and dried fruit like prunes and raisins. Drink ALot! No not alcohol, lol. It tends to dehydrate one's self. I am talking water, juice and ect. Rest! after donating! Trying to jump up like Super Donor 2 minutes after donating, tends to leave one in danger of falling on one's face.

Why do I bring this up? I let it happen. I was where I could donate everyday for over a week to my sang. *A BIG difference in donating 3 days three months apart* After donating I jumped up to plug in my cell phone to recharge and almost fell flat on my face. Not Pretty!
