Can Vegans Donate Blood
[mage lang="en|el|ja|en" source="flickr"]can vegans donate blood[/mage]
I’m 18 and I keep shaking all the time, what could it be and how do I treat it?
I live a pretty healthy lifestyle- I exercise regularly, don’t eat sugar, I eat whole grain foods, mostly organic fruits and vegetables. I take calcium and iron pills daily, but even though, whenever I try to donate blood they won’t accept it-they test it first, and then say that it doesn’t contain enough iron… why the **** am I shaking all the time?
Is it because of me being vegan and lacking iron, or for the reason that I drink and smoke. I used to consume a lot of alcohol, especially vodka, when I was younger, almost on a daily basis. Now, I only drink it on weekends, and I drink beer and wine sometimes during the week. I don’t smoke grass real often, and I smoke everyday about 2 cigs and on weekends more.
People always remark about this, they think I do it since nervous, my friends always laugh about it. What can I do to treat it?
Well, first off the drinking and smoking will kill you. Smoking of any kind is very bad for you. Drinking can be okay if you do it in reasonable amounts. Binge drinking is just as bad as drinking alot everyday.
now since that is out of the way, maybe you are having a low blood sugar since you dont eat alot of carbs to keep your body moving. And you should probably take more iron daily if you do not eat meat of any kind. Maybe seeing a dietary coach would be helpful to you, so you can get a good idea of what is the right stuff to eat to stay healthy.
Remember that your health is the most important thing, because all the money, friends and fame wont matter if your too sick to enjoy it.
