How long should I wait to exercise after donating blood?!


Question: I am supposed to donate blood at school tomorrow around 12:30. Normally, I go to the gym after school (3:00) and run on an elliptical for an hour and lift for half an hour. Will I still be able to do this as long as I drink fluids and grab something to eat?

i would try and push it back a little if at all possible you body will take a little bit to rejuvenate the blood taken but not long if you eat (sugar,salt,fruits---bananas are great because of the potassium) drink plenty of water and you should be good to go.just watch yourself when you are working out make sure if you start felling funny you stop right away and get some Gatorade in you and take a breather.

just make sure you talk to the nurse that is doing all the stuff for you when you donate

Ask the nurse

I am not exactly should how long, however the people at the blood drive will give you a card that tells you all that you need to know about how long to continuing regular activities.
