First off... I do not work for the American Red Cross...
The ARC does not approve and is limited in even letting this info out...
Why? Blame the FDA...
Maybe... You already know how great it is to give blood... Maybe you already give... if so:
..."Thank-You"...
If you have not ever considered given blood, or understand why giving blood is so wonderful...
Please read on...
[I have provided some links to back up what I am saying...]
So, without sounding too much like a church janitor to whom has just found the 'Holy Grail' ... I'd like to talk to you about "Giving Blood"...

Giving blood....The feeling is euphoric... someone's life could be saved, by your act of giving...wow...nice...
That is awesome... Now, how about some return, greatness back to you?
Can I re-write a song lyric, {sorry if I offend]:
"...giving blood gives you 'Instant karma'... It's gonna save your life... you'll feel wonderful my brother..."
Men... do you know, that when you give blood, you get a free health risk blood screening ? and Blood Pressure and...
...yes, you get a 'free' Iron check, your blood iron must meet the Red Cross' minimum guidelines...[mine was 13.2 last time I gave]...
Why is knowing your Iron level important you might ask....
The MayoClinic.com says normal hemoglobin ranges from 11.1g/dL to 15g/dL. Results lower than that indicate an iron deficiency causing anemia.
Results higher than 15 elevate your risks of heart problems [including stroke]...
When you give blood, if your level is over 15, you can bring the test [a quick prick of the finger before you give blood] result, to your doctor for further help...
Giving blood... like we always hear, your given blood can, and will help multiple recipients... And Now, if you give blood you can help your own health?
In a word: YES! Read these links I have provided...

This above article says:
"that giving blood every six months led to fewer heart attacks and strokes in test participants ages 43 to 61."
Maybe, you are obese [ok a little chubby?], giving blood acts-as a quick diet? Yes!

"Another side effect of giving blood is that the donor loses weight as a consequence of this action. The University Of California in San Diego estimate that for every pint of blood donated 650 calories are burned as a result of the body's efforts to replenish itself. This equates roughly to a pound (2.2 Kilograms) loss of weight per each pint of blood donated. If you donate regularly, the loss of weight over time can be quite significant."

"Iron has been shown to speed the oxidation of cholesterol, a process thought to increase the damage to arteries that ultimately leads to cardiovascular disease"
Ridding your body of excess iron, also reduces the formation of free radicals which attack our immune system...
In 1998 a Finnish study concluded that giving blood at least one time a year lowers your risk of heart attack by 88% [OMG-EIGHTY-EIGHT PERCENT!]
Another study sited below, says the same 88%...

From this article:
"Did you know that you can reduce your risk of heart disease and save a life at the same time? That’s right! According to studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, blood donors are 88% less likely to suffer a heart attack and 33% less likely to suffer any type of cardiovascular event. Why is that? Well, researchers ....say... that iron has a significant impact on atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. When you give blood you are removing 225 to 250 milligrams of iron from your system, thus cutting your risk of heart disease"

"Giving Blood keeps you healthy"

http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/04/08/us-blood-donation-cancer-idUSTON87390720080408
".... However, among male donors, the risk of liver, lung, colon, stomach and throat cancer declined as the frequency of donations increased, which suggests that iron depletion may reduce cancer risk."
Giving Blood may reduce your risks of cancer? Another WOW !!!! ...there...
So why doesn't the Red Cross shout the goodness and good health side effects of giving blood?
"Historically, the safest blood has been from the altruistic donor. The blood supply is regulated by the FDA, which insists that blood collection organizations, in their efforts to solicit and recruit people as donors, do not directly promote any benefit to the blood donor.”
The FDA says the Red Cross can not promote any health benefit to the donor...
The FDA-can shove it... Giving Blood will make you healthier, happier, and live a longer better life... ALL evidence points to that!
We all want our quality of life to be better at the end.... this will help your dad... this will help you ....
Give Blood !
