Donate BloodIf you listen to the news you will undoubtedly hear reports about how stress can affect your health.  In these reports encouragement is often given to take care of yourself by eating well, getting enough sleep and exercise, and to stay on top of your health issues.  Another way to help yourself during hard times is to give to others in need.  It can create a wonderful feeling inside that must have healthy rewards. 

One such way of giving is to give blood.  March is RED CROSS Month, and by giving just one pint of your blood you can potentially help a few people.  How wonderful for you the giver and for the receiver!

But did you know that giving blood could also be healthy for your heart?  Literally!  Apparently there can be a real benefit to your health when you give blood because; this bloodletting helps reduce iron in the blood stream, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer!

When I first came to the states I gave regularly. Now because of Mad Cow Disease concerns they will not accept blood from those who lived in the UK. But I do believe that giving bloods is a worthy cause.
