Blood donation isn't for women: Unless a woman is pregnant, lactating, anaemic, or suffering from a medical issue that lowers their haemoglobin count, they can donate blood. Giving blood will make you ill: Blood donation affects women the same way that it would affect a man. Also, you should avoid smoking for three hours after donating blood and also stay away from alcohol for 24 hours prior to donating blood. If you have high blood pressure, you are fine to donate, as long as your blood pressure is no higher than 180/100. Blood donation doesn't affect your body weight at all, it remains unchanged unless you decide to reward yourself with too much junk food post-donation.Bad eating habits have nothing to do with blood donation.
