Before going in to donate blood, make sure to drink plenty of water, not flavored though. What the water does is helps to hydrate the veins making it lots easier to find and stick the vein. I am a phlebotomist (draws blood), so I know what I am talking about. After you donate you should drink juice and eat crackers or cookies to get your blood sugar back up to where it should be. Hope that I was of help.
doesn't really matter, after you give blood, they give you cookies and juice.
doesnt really matter what u eat as long as u eat b4. i didn't eat b4 once and got sick
you could drink a lot of water before it happens DO NOT eat salty foods
Your should eat and drink normally. After you give, they'll offer you some cookies and juice.
In hot weather, if you work outside, might need to drink a little extra just to make sure you're not dehydrated any before donating. Not a big deal, just a precaution.
dont eat saltyy food
you can eat whatever
just make sure you eat before you go
good luck!
I SAY DRINK ALOT OF WATE
NO HEAVY FOOD LIKE PIZZA HAM BURGERS ETC.
Make sure you are well hydrated before donating. When you donate you are losing blood volume so if you are dehydrated your volume is lower than it should be and this cause symptoms such as light-headedness, passing out, etc. Make sure to take one of the snacks they offer - you earned it. You are helping to save lives!!!!
