Hi friends,

I am not into bodybuilding but I am a fitness freak and I take bodybuilding seriously and I enjoy it. I am currently going through weight training and is bulking up. However, there is a voluntary blood donation camp being orgainsed by company in which I work and I am seriously considering to donate blood. But because I am exercising heavy , can I donate one unit of blood, will there be any issue or problem in my exercise routine. Do I need to take rest or I can do continue exercise routine as normal ?

Should I take rest or gap before donating blood or say I exercise in morning, can I donate blood in evening or there should be some interval between exercise and blood donation ?

On looking over internet, I think you can donate blood but you must take rest. Have 1 day interval before giving blood and also for around 1 week go for lighter exercise else you will feel drowsy and main even pass out. So, its easy , if giving blood, you need to take rest / gap from regular routine for 2-3 days and one week is find to get back to normal.

Sure blood donation will never harm it’s proved by professional doctors even its safe to donate blood at every six month
