There is never enough blood in hospitals. If you look around you will find plenty of opportunities to donate blood. While this is true, there are still some out there that hesitate to donate. Here are some reasons why you should donate your blood often. Sense of Fulfillment There is no greater sense of fulfillment then when we give a part of ourselves and we don't exactly know who it will go to.
Seeing as how multiple visits to the doctor can quickly get expensive, it's a good idea to go to the doctor's office with certain things in mind that will help you make the best of your visit. Keep reading if you want to know what some of those things might be.
2. Head to the store and pick up 21 Tupperware containers (probably 1-2 lb containers) and choose the size you would be comfortable eating three times a day and feel full (but never stuffed). To be honest you will probably not be able to make the week without cheating so you can plan on 19 Tupperware containers which means you miss two meals to eat one large meal of whatever you want once a week.
People don't usually keep things from their doctor consciously, but it can easy to simply forget certain symptoms you may have experienced when you're in the doctor's office. A good way to combat this is to keep a record of any sensations or feelings you may experience. That way, you can quickly look over them before you go to the doctor's office.
4. Head to the store and buy ingredients you need.. Make sure to bring three different possible meals for the week with you. The reason why is that certain items may be on sale and you can save quite a bit of money; this is especially true of meat. Look around for the sales and decide which meal you will cook this week.
This lowers their iron levels and decreases oxidative damage. While iron plays an essential role in the body, when there is too much, there can be some serious damage. There are also requirements of those wishing to give blood which gives you another reason to maintain good health.
6. When you cook the food make sure to place it in the Tupperware upside down. For example if you wanted the chicken, Hawaiian haystack put the soup on bottom then chunks of chicken and vegetables followed by rice on top. This way you can flip the container onto a plate and throw it in the microwave. The portions sizes are really up to you. I make sure to have a good amount of vegetables and meal in the meals and not too much rice.
Lose Weight For each time that you donate, you can lose up to 650calories. This can add up when you give blood consistently. Another thing to think about is the fact that when you give blood your body needs to replenish your blood supply and this can bring good new blood around the body.
Communicate Above all else, simply remember that your doctor is a person, just like you. So get in the habit of talking.
9. Enjoy your meals and your make the most of your workout. While this style of meal planning may not be for everyone I really enjoyed it. There are great benefits like only having to cook once a week and always having a good meal on hand if you are hungry (avoids binge eating crap). You can also save money this way by avoiding eating out and most importantly make the most of your workout by giving your body the nutrients and energy it needs to create muscle and eliminate fat. I realize the meal plan is more of an outline but this allows you to make adjustments if you like and find out meals you enjoy. Experiment to find out what you like and make sure to be consistent in your eating habits. A great part of exercise and meal planning is that a lot of health insurance companies will lower your premiums if you report consistent exercise and take health tests each year. So not only are you able to stay in shape but you get affordable health insurance as well.
