Theade.♥: Morning Glory!

So how was your day peeps?
Have you done any good things recently?

I had blood donation yesterday.. It was kinda scary yet excited. :D
A friend of mine 'mou mou ren' (she doesn't wants her name appear on my blog) told me about this activity. Since I haven't tried that before, so I decided to give a try!

BENEFITS FROM DONATED BLOOD

Blood donation benefits many people. One pint of blood benefits donors in the following ways:

Each pint of whole blood donated by one person helps three other people.
One pint of blood may be separate into its various components such as plasma, red blood cells and others. If one pint of blood is used as components, it can help seven people.
Blood donation benefits surgical patients. A liver transplant patient, for example, may need up to ten pints of blood during surgery. Blood transfusions are needed during many types of surgery and for accident victims.
People undergoing chemotherapy and radiation benefit from blood donation.
Individuals with sickle-cell anemia need blood donations to replace their red blood cells.
Donated blood saves the lives of premature infants and children. Many of these tiny patients require blood transfusions, and only blood from a donor can help them.

HEALTH BENEFITS TO DONORS

Blood donation benefits extend beyond those who receive life-giving blood. Donors also receive numerous health benefits. Blood donation benefits to donors include:

Free health screening: Every time you give blood, a medical technician, doctor or nurse will check your blood pressure and give you a free health screening.
Reduced risk of heart disease: Some doctors and scientists believe that giving blood may prevent heart disease. Although no conclusive evidence is available, numerous physicians have noted that blood donors typically have fewer cases of heart disease than non-donors. Dr. Harvey Klein, in an article on USA Today, speculates that giving blood regularly reduces the amount of iron in the bloodstream. While iron is an important element and necessary for human life, too much iron may actually damage the heart and circulatory system. Dr. Klein and others believe that reducing blood iron through regular blood donation is a healthy way to potentially lower your risk of heart disease.
Acts of altruism make you feel good! Giving feels great, especially when you understand that one hour of your time and one pint of blood can save so many people.

A little advice from me:
