By Jitendra Jangid- Friends, as we all know, we celebrate World Blood Donor every year on June 14 to honor the selfless heroes who save lives through the simple act of donating blood. This noble deed, often referred to as "Mahadaan" in India, is truly true to its name - a "great donation" that can prolong someone's life, but do you know how many times you can donate blood in a year, let's know-
Increases blood production:
When you donate blood, your body immediately works to replenish lost blood, stimulating the production of new red blood cells.
Improves heart health:
Regular blood donors have an 88% lower risk of heart attack due to decreased iron levels and improved blood flow.
Balances iron levels:
Excess iron in the body can lead to a condition called atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Donating blood helps maintain a healthy iron balance.
A healthy routine:
A healthy adult can donate blood every 56 days, which is 6 times a year. It is a small effort that has a huge impact.
