• Eat a meal 2 hours before your donation.
• Include red meat in your diet (2-3 meals two weeks prior)
• Enjoy your Green vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, and cabbage, and leafy greens like spinach, kale, and cauliflower leaves, which are rich sources of iron.
• Be sure to drink water regularly.
• REMEMBER: After donation: no heavy lifting or vigorous exercise the rest of the day; grab a healthy snack and drink plenty of water.
