56 Facts About Blood and Blood Donation 4.5 million Americans would die each year without life saving blood transfusions. Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the United States. Every three seconds someone needs blood One out of every 10 people entering a hospital needs blood. Just one pint of donated blood can help save as many as three people's lives. The average adult has 10 pints of blood in his or her body. One unit of blood is roughly the equivalent of one pint. Blood makes up about 7% of your body's weight. A newborn baby has about one cup of blood in his or her body. The average red blood cell transfusion is 3.4 pints. Blood fights against infection and helps heal wounds, keeping you healthy. There are four main blood types: A, B, AB and O. AB is the universal recipient and O negative is the universal donor. Blood centers often run short of type O and B blood. Shortages of all types of blood occur during the summer and winter holidays. If all blood donors gave 2 to 4 times a year, it would help prevent blood shortages. If you began donating blood at age 17 and donated every 56 days until you reached 76, you would have donated 48 gallons of blood. About three gallons of blood supports the entire nation's blood needs for one minute. Blood donation takes four steps: medical history, quick physical, donation, and snacks. The actual blood donation usually takes less than 10 minutes. The entire process, from when you sign in to the time you leave, takes about 45 minutes. Giving blood will not decrease your strength. You cannot get AIDS or any other infectious disease by donating blood. Fourteen tests, 11 of which are for infectious diseases, are performed on each unit of donated blood. Any company, community organization, place of worship or individual may contact their local community blood center to host a blood drive. People donate blood out of a sense of duty and community spirit, not to make money. They are not paid for their donation. Much of today's medical care depends on a steady supply of blood from healthy donors. One unit of blood can be separated into several components (red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate). Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's organs and tissue. There are about one billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. Red blood cells live about 120 days in the circulatory system. Platelets help blood to clot and give those with leukemia and other cancers a chance to live. Apheresis (ay-fur-ee-sis) is a special kind of blood donation that allows a donor to give specific blood components, such as platelets. Donated red blood cells must be used within 42 days of collection. Donated platelets must be used within five days of collection. Plasma can be frozen and used for up to a year. Plasma is a pale yellow mixture of water, proteins and salts. Plasma, which is 90% water, constitutes 55% of blood volume. Healthy bone marrow makes a constant supply of red cells, plasma and platelets. People who have been in car accidents and suffered massive blood loss can need transfusions of 50 pints or more of red blood cells. The average bone marrow transplant requires 120 units of platelets and about 20 units of red blood cells. Patients undergoing bone marrow transplants need platelets donations from about 120 people and red blood cells from about 20 people. Severe burn victims can need 20 units of platelets during their treatment. Children being treated for cancer, premature infants, and children having heart surgery need blood and platelets from donors of all types. Anemic patients need blood transfusions to increase their iron levels. Cancer, transplant and trauma patients and patients undergoing open-heart surgery require platelet transfusions to survive. Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease that affects more than 80,000 people in the United States, 98% of whom are of African descent. Some patients with complications from severe sickle cell disease receive blood transfusions every month – up to 4 pints at a time. In the days following the September 11 attacks, a half a million people donated blood. Females receive 53% of blood transfused; males receive 47%. 94% of all blood donors are registered voters. 60% of the US population is eligible to donate – only 5% do on a yearly basis. 17% of non-donors cite "never thought about it" as the main reason for not giving, while 15% say they're "too busy." The #1 reason donors say they give is because they "want to help others." After donating blood, you replace these red blood cells within 3 to 4 weeks. It takes eight weeks to restore the iron lost after donating. Granulocytes, a type of white blood cell, roll along blood vessel walls in search of bacteria to eat. White cells are the body's primary defense against infection. There is no substitute for human blood. It's about Life. Since a pint is pound, you lose a pound every time you donate blood. Anyone who is in good health, is at least 17 years old, and weighs at least 110 pounds may donate blood every 56 days.

here is what i found about Bananas Banana wonders Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. A banana can help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must for our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and rehydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5 000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronic ulcer cases. It also neutralises over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalise the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine", eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%" Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! A banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
