Donating blood gives you a feeling of empowerment.  It's an hour of your time that will remind you how great it is to help another person.  It is selfless, generous, and could possibly save someone's life.
June 14th is World Blood Donor Day.  It's a day to remind you to schedule an appointment to give this life-saving donation.  One blood donation can save up to three lives.  Our blood is composed of three key elements:  The blood cells, platelets, and plasmacan each be used to help a different person.  Red blood cells help patients during or after surgeries.  Platelets can help people suffering with cancer.  Blood plasma is often used for people who had a bad trauma or who are being treated for burns.
Statistics show that every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion.  Approximately 30,000 units of blood are used each day in the U.S. One out of seven people who enter a hospital will need blood, but unfortunately, only about 3% of Americans donate each year.
If you are generally in good health and have a desire to help people, then take the time this World Blood Donor Day to schedule your appointment.</description><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jun 2023 11:50:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/vitamin-c</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/vitamin-c</link><title>Vitamin C</title><description>On April 4th, we celebrated Vitamin C day.  Vitamin C is recognized for warding off colds and is clinically proven to be useful in other areas of our health as well.  Vitamin C may help to reduce blood pressure, which in turn, may lower the risk of heart disease.  It also has been shown to help lower the risk of gout for those who are prone to it.
Vitamin C is a powerful micronutrient that is essential to our health.  It is considered the "go-to" supplement to boost the immune system during cold and flu season and offers great benefits to the brain, heart and skin year-round.  It also helps to improve collagen production, so with sufficient vitamin C levels, your body can best produce healthy nails, hair and skin.  
The following foods will help you get your daily dose of vitamin C:  Brussel sprouts, blackcurrants, mangos, green or red bell peppers, cauliflower, oranges, grapefruit, tomato juice, cantaloupe, papaya, guava, broccoli, strawberries, yellow kiwi, hot green chili peppers, mustard greens and pineapple.</description><pubDate>Fri, 21 Apr 2023 11:49:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/always-start-your-day-on-a-positive-note</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/always-start-your-day-on-a-positive-note</link><title>Always start your day on a positive note.</title><description /><pubDate>Fri, 11 Nov 2022 11:30:45 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/get-inspired-today</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/get-inspired-today</link><title>Get inspired today.</title><description /><pubDate>Mon, 07 Nov 2022 11:30:25 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/youll-find-that-theres-beauty-after-facing-the-tough-times</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/youll-find-that-theres-beauty-after-facing-the-tough-times</link><title>You'll find that there's beauty after facing the tough times.</title><description /><pubDate>Fri, 04 Nov 2022 11:30:42 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/have-faith-in-yourself</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/have-faith-in-yourself</link><title>Have faith in yourself.</title><description /><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2022 11:30:52 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/if-you-think-youre-limitless-you-are</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/if-you-think-youre-limitless-you-are</link><title>If you think you're limitless, you are.</title><description /><pubDate>Fri, 28 Oct 2022 11:30:44 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/take-some-time-today-to-thank-the-people-in-your-corner</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/take-some-time-today-to-thank-the-people-in-your-corner</link><title>Take some time today to thank the people in your corner.</title><description /><pubDate>Mon, 24 Oct 2022 11:30:45 -0700</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/dont-let-yourself-off-the-hook</guid><link>http://www.thearborinn.net/blog/post/dont-let-yourself-off-the-hook</link><title>Don't let yourself off the hook.</title><description /><pubDate>Fri, 21 Oct 2022 11:30:38 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
