According to the Red Cross, a single donation can save the lives of up to three people.

It means that by donating our blood, we have been meaningful for others. When we donateour blood, it will not only be beneficial for others, but also advantageous for our health. Now,

lets see the benefits.

irst, our blood may flow better. Repeated blood donations may help the blood flow

in a way taht is less damaging to the lining of the blood vessels and could result in fewer

arterial bloc!ages. "hat may e#plain why theAmerican Journal Of Epidemiology found that

blood donors are $$% les li!ely to suffer a heart attac!.

&econd, well get a mini chec!'up. (efore we give blood, well first have to complete

a )uic! physical test that measyres our temperature, pulse, blood pressure and hemoglobin

levels. After our blood is collected, its sent off to a lab where it will undergo *+ different

tests for infectous diseases, li!e I- and West Nile virus. If anything comes bac! positive,

we should not donor our blood.

"hen, our iron levels eill stay balanced. ealthy adults usually have about

grams of iron in their bodies, mostly in red blood cells but also in bone marrow. When we

donate a unit of blood, we lose about a )uarter of a gram of iron, which gets replenished from

the food we eat in the wee!s after donation. "his regulation of iron levels is a good thing,

because having too much iron could be bad news for our blood vessels.

inally, we can live longer. /oing good for others is one way to en0oy a longer life. A

study inHealth Psychologyfound that people who volunteered for altruistic reasons had a

significantly reduced ris! of mortality four years later that those who volunteered themselves.

7n the positive side, >oos appear to be safe havens for animals. In order to protect and

ta!e care of endangered wild animals, they need to be captured and confined to secure places,

i.e.>oos. 4oreover, captive breeding can help raise the number of endangered wild animals.

(esides, >oos are in fact, trying to ma!e people aware of the environmental problems.

;oon authorities place a greater emphasis on education and conservation than merelyrecreation these days. 4any school children visit >oos to learn more about endangered

species and the different ways to conserve them. "hey can study about different !inds of wild

7n the contrary, >oos have negative sides. Animals have their own, natural rights and

capturing them for any reason whatsoever is a breach of the same. "herefore, restricting their

connected to their natural surroundings and this bond is bro!en when they are put into the

artificial settings of a >oo.

are only a few who visit >oos for education purposes. It is observed that visitors tend to abuse

animals by throwing ob0ects at them@ such !inds of careless and irresponsible beaviour by

visitors have negative effects on animals. In fact, such !ind of abuse could also prove fatal.
