Joy of giving .. 4 blood donations in 2020 ..

This year 2020 I donated blood once every three months, which is perfectly safe, what doctors recommend .. 

I used to donate twice a year for many years, this time wanted to check .. gave in Feb, June, Sept and Dec.. no health problems at all, on the contrary have been healthy and active throughout. 🙏🙏🙂🙂 38 in total ..

Though I thought of reducing body weight from 88 kgs, to about 78 kgs, I have been unsuccessful in that .. at around 86 kgs now ..😥😥 During this Covid time, I could save at least twelve patients ..

Maybe I should attempt donating blood every 2 months .. 

There is no substitute for blood. Blood lost needs to be replaced only with pure and fresh blood from another healthy body.

Blood donation is the most healthiest and harmless activity one can undertake ever .. Societal taboos, lack of self-confidence, poor level of medical awareness, poor health due to earlier health complications etc. can distract people from donating..  

Having started donating from age 22, I can donate for another nine years till 65 years. 

As per healthline.com, a 450 ml blood donation can save as much as four lives. ie. till 65, I can save almost another 100 lives.
