2. Good for health
◆Donating blood in an appropriate amount will make people healthier and live longer. People who donate blood in an appropriate amount for a long time will have a significantly higher proportion of fresh blood cells than people who have never donated blood because their bone marrow hematopoietic system is constantly stimulated. Donating blood will reduce blood viscosity.
◆Donating blood can reduce coronary heart disease: Research results show that donating blood has a good impact on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and has a positive preventive effect on reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
◆Donating blood can reduce the incidence of cancer: Iron is one of the indispensable elements of the human body, but if the iron content exceeds 10% of the normal value, the chance of developing cancer will increase. The only way to eliminate excess iron is through bleeding, so men with high iron levels in the body are encouraged to donate blood regularly.
◆Blood donation can purify people's soul: Unpaid blood donors use their own blood to extend and save the lives of others, comforting the soul and making life more fulfilling.
