I donated blood yesterday, should i change my diet in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not essential, but..: A few days before, iron-rich foods (red meat if so inclined), dark greens, good nutritious food so body has what it will need to start to replace lost unit. Continue after for 1-2 days while replenishing loss.
