Billy FootballDonating blood and platelets frequently is like an oil change for the body
I like the idea of donating my blood more frequently because it's like a car oil change, right? Yeah, like if my body if I'm walking around with old blood then I'm going to act sluggish. It's not going to be as efficient. But if I give a bunch of my blood, the new blood's better.
While the body does regenerate blood after donation, medical professionals do not compare it to an 'oil change' for efficiency and warn against donating too frequently.
