The next time you hear of a blood drive – do your eyes a favor and give.
A recent study found that donating blood a few times a year can actually help to slow macular degeneration. An excess of iron in the blood can contribute to the disease as we age – and can even do some damage to other parts of the body. If you’re over the age of 50 and have high levels of iron, ask your doctor how many times per year you should donate blood to help alleviate the problem.
