Although donating blood is a very good deed because by donating blood, the life of many people can be restarted and many lives can be saved by donating blood, but along with the benefits of donating blood, there are some disadvantages as well.
What are the benefits of donating blood?
You all know that blood is an important element for our body and without blood we cannot even imagine our life. Similarly, there are many benefits of donating blood in normal life.
- By donating blood, the level of hemoglobin in our body is checked, which lets us know about the overall nutrients in our body. This test also gives information about any disease in the blood. It can also reveal about a major disease like cancer
- By donating blood, the ability to form blood in our body also increases, due to which blood is produced rapidly in the body.
- The biggest benefit of donating blood is that you can save the life of another person by donating your blood, because in most road accident cases and in case of any other accident, there is a shortage of blood. In such a situation, by donating blood, you are giving someone a new life.
Disadvantages of donating blood?
Donating blood can cause a disease called anemia. This disease does not occur in every person who donates blood. Only a few people can develop anemia after donating blood.
How can anemia occur after donating blood?
You all know that our blood contains haemoglobin which controls the RBC red blood cells in the body and this is why the colour of blood appears red and RBC is produced in our body in a period of 120 days. If we continuously donate blood then haemoglobin is not produced in our body and due to lack of haemoglobin we get a disease called anaemia. Due to this the body appears weak and there is lack of nutrients in the body. Hence blood should be donated only after the time prescribed by the doctor.
