I donated 450ml of blood yesterday because my relative needed it for an operation. This was my first time donating, and I'm curious about how long it'll take for my body to replenish the donated blood. I'm also wondering if it's okay to start exercising today, as my doctor advised me not to lift heavy weights for two days. What should I include in my diet to help with recovery?
After donating blood, it typically takes your body a few weeks to fully recover the lost blood volume. To help your body recover more quickly, you can focus on eating a diet rich in iron and vitamin C. Foods like red meat, beans, spinach, and citrus fruits can help replenish your iron levels. You can also consider taking an iron supplement to support your recovery. As for exercise, it's generally recommended to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after donating blood. After that, you can gradually resume your normal exercise routine, but listen to your body and avoid overexerting yourself. If you feel weak or dizzy, it's best to take it easy and give your body more time to recover. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your body's recovery process. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm really worried and could use some guidance. So, I had Jaundice last month, and during treatment, my doctor discovered I have Beta Thalassemia Minor. My hemoglobin count is typically between 7 and 9. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Also, I'm really into bodybuilding, so is it still okay for me to hit the gym? I heard that taking Folic Acid might help, but will using it long-term have any side effects? I'd appreciate your advice since this is all quite stressing me out.
