We all know donating blood provides a vital lifeline to those in need,but a growing body of research suggests that it could have health benefits for the donor too.
Findings have shown that donating blood reduces the risk of heart attacks and even cancer.
It even bums quite a bit of energy — 650 calories(卡路里) for every pint (568 ml) given.
The news could come as a promotion (宣传) of British blood banks which use an average of 7 ,000units of blood every day.
It is thought that the benefits arise from- lowering high iron levels.
Iron affects how thick and sticky the blood is. High iron levels cause the blood to be thicker.
Raised iron levels also keep blood from flowing smoothly.
Because donating blood removes some of its iron,it may therefore have a protective benefit if done on a consistent basis by helping thin the blood.
According to a study from the Journal of the American Medical Association,researchers found that those aged 43 to 61 had fewer heart attacks when they donated blood every six months.
A study of 2 ,682 men from Finland found they had an 88 percent reduced risk of heart attacks than those who didn，t donate,reported Medical Daily.
Likewise,a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute also links iron to an increased cancer risk.
The four-and-a-half-year study involving 1,200 people found those who made blood donations twice a year had a lower risk of cancer and death than those who didn’t.
However,these benefits depend on making donations on a regular basis,rather than once in a while.
Another side effect of donating blood is that it can bum a large number of calories too .
The University of California in San Diego says that for every one pint of blood donated,650 calories are burned as the body must fill itself up.
Although this seems to be an attractive effort-free way to lose weight,the NHS Blood and Transplant centre still encourages people to donate for the benefit of others first,rather than for themselves.
