Make sure you have plenty of iron in your blood before going to donate. This applies more to girls- we naturally have less iron in our bloodstream, or lose it in our menstrual cycles, so even when we have 'normal iron'- it isn't enough to donate. This is the second time I've been deferred from donating blood. I'll try again next week. There are blood centers everywhere, and people having surgeries or those that get injured- - - everyone needs blood. And guess what? Our bodies naturally regenerate it! I can go back after 6 or 8 weeks, and give again! But first, I need to eat more meat, leafy greens, fried fruit, fortified cereal . . .

hehe- - um, I meant dried- I don't know how much iron fried fruit would have. does fresh fruit have iron? or do the preservatives give it some?

I don't think that most dried fruit actually has preservatives -- when my mom makes it she just dries it. Reall fruit probably has iron, just not as highly concentrated. Also vit. C helps with iron absorbsion, so there's another plus for fruit!
Should I start calling you Iron Woman??
