Give Blood
Category Diversions
I'm not sure if this topic is News of the Weird, but giving blood is healthy for the donor as well as life saving for the recipient, according to Dr. Mark Liponis. Is this really true ? It's a fact presented in a Parade Magazine article about "8 Ways to Stay Healthy."
Personally, I usually give blood about once a year. It's not that I'm brave or altruistic, as much as my wife does a good job prodding everyone in our family to donate. She is the one with heart and courage. But now, even those of us who are selfish and reluctant have a good reason to donate.

GIVE BLOOD. Donating blood may make you healthier. A recent long-term study shows that giving blood may be linked with a lower risk of cancers (liver, lung, colon, stomach, and throat) in men, with risk dropping as blood donation increased.
