The results of a recent study concluded that Donation Regular blood may reduce the risk of cancer, improve heart health, regulate iron levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, and that blood donation may not only help others, but may improve the health of the body, according to what was published in the Times Now newspaper.
A study conducted by the Francis Kreik Institute in London revealed that there is an unexpected link between frequent blood donation and low risk of blood cancers. With age, mutations accumulate naturally in blood -forming stem cells, a process known as the formation of illegal blood. Some of these mutations may increase the risk of other cancer and blood disorders.
Researchers conducted a study in which they compared two groups of healthy men in their sixties, and one of the two groups donated three times a year for forty years, while the other donated almost five times, and the results were interesting, as the two groups showed a similar number of genetic mutations, but repeated donors showed a higher spread of mutations that are not usually associated with cancer.
Blood donation and heart health
One of the most prominent benefits of blood donation is its effect on cardiovascular health, as the blood viscosity of any blood density or loose plays a decisive role in heart disease, when the blood density is very high, it increases the risk of clotting, high blood pressure and stroke, and donation with blood, helps to reduce the viscosity, which facilitates the heart to pump the blood, reduces the risk of heart complications, and its benefits The other for heart health, regulating iron levels, although iron is necessary to transport oxygen, but excess amounts of it may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are linked to heart disease.
