Fluids
Fluids are a must to drink immediately after donating blood. Drink as much liquid as you can in the form of fresh juices, milkshakes, or water. Avoid drinking alcohol strictly after donating blood. Drink protein shakes. Orange juices, strawberry juices, lemonade, mango juices, energy booster drinks, and water after the donation. These beverages help to restore energy immediately after donating blood. Blood donation can at times cause weakness and heaviness in the donor’s head. Massive fluid intake can help the donor to stand steadily on his feet.
