This is my #monomad entry number 01.
Based on BRMS website here are some of the benefits of blood donation:
- Reduced risk of hemochromatosis
- Helps in lowering the risk of cancer
- Reducing the risk of heart and liver ailments caused by the iron overload in the body
- Reduces the weight of the donors
- Stimulates the production of new blood cells and in turn, helps in maintaining good health
Who can donate blood?
According to the Department of Health (DOH) , the following are basic requirements of potential blood donor
- Weight: At least 110 lbs (50 kg).
- Blood volume collected will depend mainly on you body weight.
- Pulse rate: Between 60 and 100 beats/minute with regular rhythm.
- Blood pressure: Between 90 and 160 systolic and 60 and 100 diastolic.
- Hemoglobin: At least 125 g/L.
Before the actual blood extraction a volunteer donor will be checked using those requisites and if he/she will passed on that the extraction will proceed.
I already donated blood thrice. Those were when I was in Qatar. If given a chance to donate blood again here in the Philippines I am very glad to do so.
