Was lucky to donate 350 ml of O+ blood to Narayana Hrudayalaya this morn from church. What is blood and what are the constituents that make blood ?
American Red Cross link on blood components ..
NH is very professional as to how they collect blood. They divide blood into three groups, plasma (life of 1 week), platelets ( life 3 days) and packed cells (life 1 year) if stored at -60 deg C. ..
Most of the people have a morbid fear of blood donation, it comes out of inexperience and ignorance. If you are leading a balanced life with no self-destructive tobacco and liquor consumption habits, blood donation is just like any other human activity. I have been donating every since I was 20 years for the past 32 years, blood donation is very relaxing and an anti depressant too.. The good thing is I have been able to motivate many students from the educational institutions where I have been teaching to donate blood. 
It is said, a blood donation has the benefit of running 2 full length, 41 km marathons !! Keeps one healthy, active and agile !
Bangalore has a full length international marathon happening this morn, 15 oct, 2016 !!
Since I gave to Narayana Hrudayalaya. I know it will reach needy people and will be processed and kept in the highest levels of hygiene and safety ..
Hoping to hit 50 before I stop blood donation!
Blood donation has known health benefits like lower risk of cancer, helping maintain body iron levels to healthy levels, thereby reducing heart and liver ailments.
