How to feel good when donating:

  • Eat well. Try to always include iron-rich foods. i.e., beef, pork, poultry, fish, nuts, raisins, spinach, and other dark, leafy greens.
  • Avoid eating fatty foods the night before and get a good night’s sleep.
  • Drink plenty of fluids in the days leading up to donating. Drinking water 30 minutes before giving blood has been found to improve the donation experience.
