  3. Why is Donating Blood Important? Blood travels throughout the body to provide crucial nutrients and oxygen to the body’s cells, which are essential for survival. One of the benefits of giving blood is its role in supporting life-saving blood transfusions. These transfusions help restore blood lost during surgery or serious injuries, such as those sustained in car accidents. Similarly, donating blood can indirectly support cancer patients by providing the platelets they may not produce enough of on their own to form blood clots and stop bleeding. Only 3% of those who meet blood donor eligibility requirements donate blood annually, even though, as mentioned, someone in the United States needs blood every 2 seconds. Since blood and platelets can’t be produced or manufactured, there is no alternative source for when a hospital’s supply runs out. This is why individuals who meet the requirements must donate as frequently as possible.

  4. Here is a list of the best foods to eat before donating blood Meat: lamb, beef, pork, veal, ham, and dried beef (jerky) Poultry: chicken and turkey Fish: haddock, mackerel, and tuna Shellfish: shrimp and clams Animal organs: liver Vegetables: spinach, broccoli, sweet potatoes, peas, beet greens, collard greens, kale, chard, and string beans Fruits: watermelon, strawberries, raisins, figs, prunes, dates, dried apricots and peaches Breads and cereals: enriched cereals, enriched white bread, enriched pasta, bran cereals, rye bread, enriched rice, and oats Vitamin C: kiwi fruit, papaya, mango, strawberries, cantaloupe, citrus fruits, blueberries, tomatoes and citrus juices
