bloodSymbiotic mutualism. That is what will we feel if we make blood donation, for every drop of blood that we contribute not only to provide living opportunities for those who receive but also provide health benefits for the donor.

The presumption that state to donate blood can make us weak is wrong. When we donate blood, the body will react immediately with a replacement. So, we will not experience a lack of blood. In addition to making the body produce new blood-blood, there are five other health benefits that we can feel:

1. Maintaining heart health

Oxidation products will accumulate in the artery wall and is equal to increase the odds of heart attack and stroke. When we routinely donate blood, then the amount of iron in the blood can be more stable. This means reducing the risk of heart disease.

Blood donation will also help the body reduce the number of red blood cells in the blood. No need to panic with a reduction in red blood cells, because the spinal cord will immediately recharge the red blood cells that have been lost. The result, as our donors will get a new blood supply every time you donate blood. Therefore, blood donors to be a good way to stimulate the creation of new blood.

3. Helps decrease body weight
Being a blood donor is one method of burning calories diet and powerful. Because by giving about 450 ml of blood, will assist the process of burning about 650 calories. That is the number of calories that much to make us slim waist.

4. Getting the psychological health
Donate things that are priceless to those in need will make us feel the psychological satisfaction. A study found that elderly people who regularly become a blood donor will feel energized and stay in shape.

5. Detect serious diseases
Every time we wanted to donate blood, our blood is the standard procedure will be examined from various diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and malaria. For those who receive donor blood, this is important information to anticipate the spread of disease through blood transfusion. As for us, this is the “warning signs” is good for us more attention to our own health conditions.

After the age of 18 years, try to get used to donate blood every three months. Not only would provide a happy feeling because it can help others, but a positive benefit to the health of our own bodies. And the maximum age for doing this good habit is up to 60 years old.

Therefore, if you do not just want to increase energy levels, but also improve your mood, you should not workout at the gym.
