Blood donation is a wonderful thing done by us. To begin with, extensive studies show that blood plays a vital role in medical operation. In donating our blood we are actually saving the precious lives of the sick. Next, being a healthy person, losing 200ml of blood is only a small sacrifice and helps to improve our metabolism(新陈代谢). Finally, donating blood helps us in forming good character and developing our sense of social responsibility. Blood donation isn't a complicated issue, but we need to keep a few instructions in mind.

First, don't go for blood donation with an empty stomach. We can eat anything and after having a right diet we'll feel strong and comfortable to donate blood. For the required hemoglobin (血色素) in the body, we can drink lots of fruit juice. For a good blood flow in the body, let's drink at least 6-7 glasses of water daily. Completely avoid taking alcohol or caffeine a day before and after donating our blood. We shouldn't smoke half an hour before making blood donation.

When we’re going for blood donation, first tell the nurse to check our hemoglobin level. During the injection we need to take a deep breath and try to calm ourselves down . During blood donation, keep ourselves cool and calm.

    Blood donation is a very fast process, but we need to take care of ourselves after blood donation. For example, take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. Eat something and drink juice leaving the blood donation centre. Make sure not to skip meals after blood donation .Smoking should be avoided up to one hour after blood donation.

At last be proud of ourselves that we've done a great task in making an attempt of saving someone's life. Blood donation is a social responsibility for every citizen, especially for us, young students. We should do it voluntarily not because it does us no harm but because it is a noble thing to do and it helps others a great deal
