We all know about the scarcity of blood, and when it comes to blood then we talk about safe blood which is free from diseases like AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malaria etc. Scientifically it is believed that the blood donated willingly is comparatively safe and it is considered that it does not carries the above mentioned diseases, that is why we promote blood donation. Common man have about 4.5 to 5 liters of blood, in which we allow the person to donate only one third part of it, which is recoverable very easily in a healthy person because the red blood cells of human body gets changed automatically in every 90-120 days, either the blood donates the blood or not hence any healthy person of 18-65 age can donate the blood in every 3 months. Scientists also shares that the new blood formed have better capacity of carrying oxygen which makes a person refreshed and energetic. There are several people who have donated the blood 50, 60 or even 100 times in their life, and they never felt any kind of weakness by doing so.
