10 Benefits of Donating Blood
Benefit #4: Burns Calories
This will probably surprise you, but donating blood often helps you to burn some calories. In fact, your body can burn up to 650 calories every time you donate one pint of blood. This happens due to the process your body goes through to replace the blood plasma that is lost during the donation.
This means that a person who donates blood regularly loses weight as a result. However, blood donation should not be seen as a quick way to lose weight. After all, you need to wait for at least 56 days before donating another pint of blood. If you are looking to lose weight, follow a healthy diet and proper exercise.
