The Blood Safety Programme Manager, Institute of Human Virology, Nigerians (IHVN), Mr Abdullahi Abubakar, says regular blood donation improves body fitness and lower calories

Abubakar explained that donating one pint of blood (450ml) removes 650 calories from the donor's body

He said that transfusion of blood helps save millions of lives every year and put a natural smile on the face of blood receiver

Abubakar said blood donation enhanced the production of new blood cells, adding that, "When blood is withdrawn, the donor's body immediately begins to replenish the lost blood within the 24 hours of donation

"All of the red blood cells the donor loses during donation are completely replaced within one month to two months."
