Whether bleeding from the body leads to weight loss or not is a question that many people have in their mind.
Recently, there were reports that when Vinesh Phogat was being disqualified from the Paris Olympics due to weight gain, she even tried to lose weight by getting her blood extracted.
In such a situation, the question arises that if blood is removed from the body, does the weight really reduce? Let's find out.
The process of removing blood is called phlebotomy. In this process, a certain amount of blood is removed from the body.
This process usually takes place during blood donation, where a person donates one unit (about 450 ml) of blood. According to doctors, many people believe that bleeding leads to weight loss. This is because body weight also includes the weight of blood.
When blood is drawn, weight is temporarily lost, but this blood loss is not permanent. After bleeding, the body replaces the lost blood volume through water and food, after which weight is regained. Bloodletting is not recommended for weight loss. Bleeding can cause weakness and other health problems.
