| - As of yet accrual stars unknown. This is information that is nice to know, (most is available other places)
FIRST TIME
1) Expect to be there 4 to 6 hrs.
2) Be at door as close to opening as possable.
3) Eat before going and drink water (24 - 32 oz min)
4) if you take aspirin, max 320mg within 12 hrs (some uncertainty on time, could be less or more, I spelt the difference)
6) bring 2 ID with address or proof of addresses.
EATING !
Food will affect your blood. Minimum 24 hours pre-plasma/blood giving:
Do not eat the goodys we all love, sweets, high fatty foods (anything fried), high Cholesterol forming foods.
Foods you should eat are vegetables, legumes such as lentils (high in proten), dried beans, grains such as oats, (grits is corn). Fruits & Avocados eat in moderation. ( sugars in fruit, fat in Avocados.)
Vegetables such as Kale is high in Vitamin K, this thickens the blood along with being very, very healthy for you. My normal diet is high in these foods, therefor I usually 1/2 an Aspirin and several cups of water before blood tests. These are foods high in Vit. K:
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, White cabbage, Cauliflower, Swiss chard, Chives, Collard greens, Cilantro, Endive, Kale, Leek, Bibb lettuce, Red leaf lettuce, Green onion, Parsley, Spinach, Turnip greens, Watercress
Moderation is the key.
Coffee, Tea, and Soft drinks with caffeine are dehydrating and narrows the blood vesicles. Carbonated drinks are also a no, no, the carbonation blocks calcium from your body therefore your blood. Calcium has many jobs. Just do not drink any of the above.
There are fats that are actually good for you, but to be safe be moderate in the good fats, no bad fats.
A personal note on eggs:
production eggs you buy in the store are not the same egg that was sold 75 years ago. Just as with us chickens eggs gets there nutrition from what goes into the chicken along with its emotional state. No sun, high stress gives you a fatty, high cholesterol egg among other things that missing. Free range, natural foraging, cage free, carnivore chicken eggs have:
* 1/3 less cholesterol * 1/4 less saturated fat * 2/3 more vitamin A * 2 times more omega- 3 fatty acids * 3 times more vitamin E * up to 7 times more beta carotene. (With special diet Omega-3 fatty acids can be much higher) The eggs sold as higher in Omega-3 is do to diet and are more expensive to produce, a bargain. VEGETARIAN EGGS are a RIP-OFF, they have the lest good nutrition. The vegetable proteins in soy is toxic to chickens, therefore has to be possessed to be non-toxic, but the chicken still can not digest soy protein properly, it is the same as giving dairy to someone that is lactose-intolerant, meds make it so they do not get sick, but they still can not use the nutrition in the dairy. The must have bug, fish, or animal protein, it is the same as making a cat a vegetarian ...... That is the same with a chicken. [see short 49 sec video of what a chicken wants http://youtu.be/nZRNJPdKmVM They will fight over it]
A personal note on grains:
most modern grains, more of the gain is utilized in nutrition, unfortunately that means also, it turns to sugar faster and more of it then grain 75 years ago. In other words 1 loaf of modern bread is the same as eating 2 or more loves of bread 75 years ago. (More diabetes)
