The first time I donated was in school and I was more excited about the experience than the actual impact.

They ran the tests & I was fit to donate but my friend almost cried because she was told she could not donate as she was anaemic.

Anyway, they talked me through the whole process and the person handling my donation was nice and funny, so I didn't "outwardly" panic about the size of the needle.

#AvonBloodHeroes #SafeBloodSavesLives

Needle in, (I didn't believe it could fit honestly) they handed me a nice squishy ball to squeeze (that was fun) and it didn’t take time before the blood bag was full.

They told me to keep away from rigorous activities for the day like jumping, etc., and then gave me a tin of milk and noodles before I went back to my room. I only felt slightly dizzy but that was very brief.

#AvonBloodHeroes #SafeBloodSavesLives

A year after my first donation, I had to donate again and there was a real need for it then. I was working in a hospital for my IT and a pregnant woman in labour was losing blood.

They had already used up all they had in the blood bank.

Since I'm O+, I donated. I didn't even feel dizzy after. I went back to work for the day and forgot I’d donated blood until I looked at the patch on my arm later.

1. It is neither 'Brazilian' nor is it a butt lift.

The BBL is an augmentation of the buttock region using a patient's fat tissue.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

The BBL procedure starts with liposuction of a different area, often the abdomen, flanks, thighs or back.

The fat removed from these areas is then injected into the hips and buttocks to improve shape and projection.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

2. BBL can be dangerous

The keyword is 'can'.

Although it is generally safe, there is a risk of fat getting into major blood vessels and clogging them when being injected.

5 things you should never say to a suicidal person

#Thread #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

1. “Suicide is selfish and Cowardly.”

This guilt trip is quite common but many people who consider suicide think their existence is a burden to the people they love. 'Self' is the last thing they care about.
#WorldSuicidePreventionDay #AvonsPracticalTips

Also, it's counterproductive to help someone by shaming them? Naturally, people would do everything possible to avoid death. We won't say suicide is brave but overcoming the fear of death isn't cowardly.

We often talk about what foods to avoid to prevent chronic diseases but what about foods we should eat more of?

#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

When examining what risk factor is responsible for more deaths around the world than any other, the culprit isn't smoking or even high blood pressure.

It's a poor diet.
#Thread #AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

According to Ashkan Afshin, lead author of a 27-year global diet analysis recently published in the Lancet, this issue is not just about unhealthy food options; but a lack of healthy foods in our diets and high levels of salt.

Did you know some health conditions can affect your personality and make you act in ways that are out of character for you?

Here are a few...
#MentalHealthMatters

1. Schizophrenia

This can make you hear voices and see things that aren't there or believe things that aren't real. At first, you just might not be as social as normal. As it gets worse, it can be tough to keep your thoughts on track, making it hard to even talk to people.

2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

This condition (OCD) makes you feel anxious and have thoughts and urges you just can't stop. For example, you might wash your hands over and over again. You might doubt yourself a lot and take a long time to finish simple tasks.

Exercising, quitting smoking, etc. Those are the 'regular' things your doctor will suggest to keep your heart healthy.

But there's more.

Here are 10 out-of-the-box things you can also do to ensure that your heart keeps going strong.

#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving

1. Play between the sheets

Sex may add more than just pleasure to your life. It may also help lower your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Research shows that reduced sexual activity is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease.

#AvonsPracticalTips

2. Brush your teeth regularly

Good oral hygiene does more than keep your teeth white and glistening. Some research suggests that the bacteria that cause gum disease can also raise your risk of heart disease.
