Donate Blood For Healthy And Holistic Living.
A mountaineer was asked: why do you climb mountains. He replied: because they are there. In same token, why should we donate blood, can be answered with: because we HAVE it. We have a reasonable surplus of it that can easily be spared for those are in dire need of it.
Any person, aged 18 to 16, weighing over 45 Kg, with hemoglobin level 12.5 gm can donate blood. Blood constitutes 8 percent of our body weight. Blood in a new born is an equivalent of a cup of tea. A normal adult has 5 to 6 liters of blood from which only 350 ml is taken in one go. From this donation, 100 ml is used up for quality control tests. The remaining 250 ml, deemed as one unit, of samples that clear all tests, is preserved for medical use.
India with its billion plus population has a requirement of 8 million units of blood, whereas our domestic collection is only 5.6 million units of which only 3 million units are from voluntary blood donors. India today has just about 4 voluntary blood donors per 1000 population as against 70 in Japan and 113 in Switzerland. It is estimated that about 1-3 percent of country’s population should donate blood voluntarily to meet the entire demand of blood for medical emergencies. Seventy percent of all potential blood donors fall in the age group 17 to 25 years. Ergo this segment of youth should proactively donate blood to bridge gap between demand and supply. Every able bodied person must donate blood at least 2 to 4 times a year.
Donating blood has no untoward effect on health. In fact it is good for health. To begin with, you are tested for medical fitness and put in the donor queue only if found suitable for it. When you donate blood, your body systems are challenged to make good the loss, just as body muscles are challenged to greater strength upon work out in gym. Quantitative loss is covered up in 24 to 48 hours and soon enough you get a new stream of blood superior in quality to one you have donated. Each time you give blood, you remove some of the iron it contains, and that’s good for you. According to one hypothesis in medical circles, high blood iron levels can increase the risk of heart disease. Iron has been shown to speed the oxidation of cholesterol, a process thought to increase the damage to arteries that ultimately leads to cardiovascular disease. Blood irons level help explain why a man’s risk of heart disease begins earlier than a woman’s. Women loose blood and lower their iron levels each time they menstruate. Men, on the other hand, begin storing iron in body tissues starting in their twenties, which is just about the time their heart attack danger begins to climb. According to Victor Herbert, M.D., a hematologist at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, there is normally about 1,000 milligrams of iron stored in the average adult man’s body but only about 300 milligrams in a premenopausal woman’s. Once women stop menstruating, however, their iron levels and their heart disease risk begin to climb, eventually matching that of men.
India has 52.83% donors in 18-24 yrs; 28.38% in 25 -44 yrs and 18.78% in 45-64 yrs age groups. Indian Blood Donors include 94% Males and 6% Females. Ten countries account for 65% of the global blood collection These are: United States of America, China, India, Japan, Germany, Russian Federation, Italy, France, Republic of Korea and United Kingdom.
Ahmadabad red cross society has rare distinction of having 1000 blood donors who have donated more than 25, 50, 75 and 100 times. There are 58 centurion donors, which is largest for any Indian city. Ahmadabad has highest blood donor to population ratio at 3.5%, which is at 5th rank after US, Switzerland, Japan and Germany. It is only in Ahmadabad that events like weddings, birthdays and even death anniversary are celebrated with blood donation. If a 25 yr old donates blood 4 times a year, he will become a centurion in 18 years time. On global scale 18-60 years age group has only 38% blood donors, of which 82% are in 3rd world alone.
That means, 96% of us depend on other 4% to give us blood. Imagine !!
