This morning I donated blood at a local pop up Centre. Now I have been donating blood for many years and for the first time I learnt about squeezing certain muscle zones for blood flow. By squeezing certain large muscle groups like your stomach and t**h it helps blood flow and also helps stop the pain of inserting and removing the needle. Who knew?
I take this opportunity to encourage the donating of blood. It is a simple task and a give back to humanity that costs nothing.
Apparently this lesson is given to our defense force personnel to avoid fainting when having to stand at attention for long periods.
Two things:
1. Next time you are at the local Anzac Day ceremonies and marches, just squeeze your butt throughout to avoid fainting.
2. I encourage you to donate blood. It is a simple task. You can book online. It costs nothing but a little of your time and gives back to humanity.

Sent to me by a friend ---
The CEO of Euro Exim Bank Ltd, Kaushik Punjani made economists think when he said:
′′A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he doesn't buy cars and doesn't borrow money to buy them. He doesn't pay for insurance. He doesn't buy fuel. He doesn't pay for maintenance and repairs. He doesn't use paid parking. He doesn't cause major accidents. He doesn't require multi-lane highways. He doesn't become obese."
"Healthy people are neither necessary nor useful to the economy. They don't buy medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors. They add nothing to the country's GDP."
"On the contrary, each new McDonald's outlet creates at least 30 jobs, in fact it employs 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 expert dieticians and nutritionists, in addition, of course, to the people who work in the outlet itself."
PS: Walking is even worse. People who walk don't even buy a bike.

WHY IS SUGAR BAD FOR YOU?
Sugar is made up of 50 per cent glucose and 50 per cent fructose but has no nutrient value at all.
You could live quite happily without any added sugar as we get natural sugars from many other foods.
There are many names for sugar – maple syrup, honey, molasses, brown sugar, agave syrups, high fructose corn syrup, barely malt, cane sugar, dextran, sucrose, maltose, maltodextrin, Ethyl Maltol and lactose. These all affect the body in the same way so don’t be fooled.
Carbohydrates, (think flour, pasta, bread, sugar, vegetables, beans, grains and starchy foods such as potatoes) get converted into glucose, providing us with energy.
Glucose is used to create energy - which is great if you are about to run a marathon - but as our lives our far more sedentary coupled with the high levels of sugar we consume, we fail to ‘burn’ this off.
Glucose is harmful in our blood stream so our pancreas secretes a hormone called Insulin. Insulin transports the glucose to either fat stores or to be used in our muscle just in case we need to ‘run’, but sadly for us, fat stores are the more common destination. The results not only mean a larger waistline, but high levels on insulin production have serious implications for our overall health.
Fructose is now deemed to be one of the most damaging sugar forms. Drink your fruit in fruit juice and a high concentration of fructose floods the liver.
