Tips on Successful Blood Donation



Have you ever tried to give blood but for some reason or another you have been denied? Try these helpful tips before you donate to ensure that you can give. Maintain a healthy diet of iron; eating fish, red meat, chicken, spinach and beans will help. Get a good night’s sleep. Drink an extra 16 oz of water before you donate, and try to eat a healthy meal before you donate; not a meal full of fats.  If you follow these tips, you might be more successful in donating blood. To sign up for the next blood drive call 1-800-REDCROSS.
