I donate blood for many reasons. Yes, I do regard it is an act of loving service to allow LIFE from me to be given to others. Also, it Costs me nothing except a little bit of time. As a Bonus, I get really cool SWAG gear (hats, blankets, shirts and free gift cards). But, for you MEN out there, the main reason I donate blood is that I physically feel better. Unlike our female friends who have a natural monthly cycle, we MEN do NOT have a way of losing some old blood and replenishing it with NEW blood.
Think of your body like a car with the heart as the engine and blood as motor oil You make it a priority to change the oil every 2 months or 4000 miles, Ever see the Oil from a car that has been there too long? It's like thick dark goo. Our blood is a lot like motor oil, so I go in every two months for "my oil change." This forces my body to naturally generate new blood. New Blood. New Cells. New Life. So Gentlemen, you make it a priority to get the oil changed on your vehicle-right? Well, consider making it a priority to schedule an oil change for the heart, and then practice getting your oil change. I donate every two months, and I know I feel better physically. And if that is not enough of a reason, you can squander your Gift Cards for a couple of years and buy something you've been wanting from Amazon. (I bought a guitar!)
