: It will hurt and create pain




Beyond the pinch of the needle and the pressure on your arm from the tourniquet, donating blood does not hurt. You may experience some dizziness or lightheadedness during or after your donation.


: It takes a long time and this is a wastage of time

Registration and processing times vary, but blood donation itself takes around eight to 10 minutes.Registration involves filling out a form with personal information and verifying your identification. Then you’ll answer questions about health and travel history, and receive a brief physical examination to determine if you’re eligible to donate blood. Your personal information will remain confidential. You’ll also be required to spend some time recovering before you leave. Don’t worry, there will be refreshments!


: I’m too old and unable to donate blood

While the age for donation without consent from a parent or guardian is 17, there is no upper age restriction so long as you meet the eligibility requirements for donating.
: Blood can be stored forever.
The different components of blood have different shelf-lives.

  • Red blood cells must be stored in a refrigerator and discarded after 42 days.
  • Platelets can be stored at room temperature up to five days.
  • Plasma can be frozen and kept for one year.

: if my iron level is low I will not be donate

This is not necessarily true. Iron is a part of what makes up hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your blood. Before you donate, your hemoglobin levels will be tested via finger prick to ensure that it is safe for you to give blood. If your hemoglobin is too low, you’ll be more likely to faint or feel ill from giving blood. For your safety, you would not be able to donate blood that day.

There’s no end to the benefits of donating blood for those who need it. According to the American Red Cross, one donation can save as many as three lives, and someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds.

It turns out that donating blood doesn’t just benefit recipients. There are health benefits for donors, too, on top of the benefits that come from helping others. Read on to learn the health benefits of donating blood and the reasons behind them.
