As is known, food can influence the body at the cellular level.
Therefore, if you plan to become a blood donor, you will have to adhere to simple dietary rules for some time.
A special diet is needed to ensure that the quality of blood components is good and that the efforts made are not in vain.
So, two days before donating blood, you must exclude fatty foods from your diet: fatty meat and lard, sausages, hot dogs and smoked meats, as well as oil, including olive oil.
In addition, you should give up any dairy and fermented milk products, cheese, eggs and fish dishes.
The ban includes sauces (mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.), seeds and nuts, cakes and baked goods, chips and other snacks, chocolate, halva and dates.
Before the procedure, do not eat garlic, asparagus, spinach and wild berries - their effect is similar to that of aspirin.
Of course, alcohol and energy drinks are on the stop list.
