Could it be a good idea to donate blood and go skiing on the same day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would likely be OK: If your blood count is normal and you are healthy, there is no reason not to ski on the day of donating blood. The american red cross recommends avoiding strenuous exercise for a few hours after giving blood so waiting a few hours and drinking lots of fluids would be advised.
