Zhang Junhua, chief technologist at a hospital in China's South Central University, told Sina about the health benefits of blood donation.

According to the Chinese expert, if a healthy person donates blood and observes the time interval, this procedure will not have a negative impact on his or her body. It is even, on the contrary, good for health.

The fact that by donating blood one can allegedly get something infected is a myth. The same applies to the statement that after the procedure the person allegedly actively gains weight. The "fact" that blood donation is allegedly addictive should also be considered a myth, reports FAN.
