Blood donation is generally considered one of the activities beneficial to humans, as the World Health Organization confirms its positive role in increasing the activity of the bone marrow to produce new blood cells, and increase the activity of blood circulation, in addition to its role in controlling the iron level in the blood, where the imbalance of this ratio is one of the causes of heart disease and arterial blockage. Studies have also proven that those who donate their blood at least once a year are less likely to develop circulatory diseases and leukemia.
