On the occasion of National Voluntary Blood Donation Day on 1st October 2019 I gave a talk on Importance of Voluntary blood donation and participated as a panellist in panel discussion on ZEE Business News Channel in Program Name – “Aapki Khabar Aapka Fayda” which was telecasted live on 1st October from 6pm – 6.30pm. I specially emphasized on health benefits of blood donation such as it helps in reducing the chances of heart diseases, enhances the production of new red blood cells, helps in fighting hemochromatosis, effective in reducing blood pressure, blood glucose and low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio and in lowering the risk of various types of cancers. I also explained common myths about donating blood such as person will not feel weak after donating blood as an average adult has approximately 10units(5-6lts) of blood in his/her body which will be replaced within 24-48hrs.Thus, giving blood does not interfere with ability to perform physical activities In the end of the talk I explained about the importance of blood components, their shelf life and different blood groups in cases of emergency. The program was very well appreciated by all .
