Have a healthy, low-fat meal before donation to maintain stable blood sugar and prevent dizziness.
Drink at least 2–3 glasses of water or juice before your donation session.
Sleep for at least 6–8 hours the night before to ensure your body is ready for donation.
Do not consume alcohol or smoke for at least 24 hours before donating blood.
Have snacks and fluids to replenish your body and restore energy levels.
Take a short rest after donating to help your body adjust and prevent dizziness.
Keep the bandage on for at least 3–4 hours and avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
Do not lift weights or perform intense physical activity for 24 hours post-donation.
