Our annual school Blood Drive is right around the corner, next Friday, February 24th, during school. The Current OC wants to give you some helpful tips on how to prepare to give a successful donation.
First, make sure the week before your donation, you maintain an iron rich diet. This would include most meats, seafood, and vegetables which contain high iron levels and are perfect to add to your meals in preparation for your donation.
Also, make sure you are staying hydrated and drink an extra 16 oz of water. This will enable you to give blood and not become dizzy or faint after your donation.
