New Delhi: Millions of people worldwide belong to O positive blood group. If your blood group is also O+, then you are really special. According to scientific research and medical data, the O+ blood group has some characteristics that make it different from the rest of the blood groups. Let's know its 7 tremendous features:
1. The most common but most important
O+ is the most common blood group in the world. About 37% of the global population is O positive. This availability makes it the most useful during emergency, especially when blood is needed immediately.
2. O+ Hero is in blood donation
Because O+ is the most common blood group, it always needs in blood banks. If your blood group is O+, then you can save countless lives by donating blood.
3. Boundaries and security in transfusion
O+ blood group with only O+ and O-can take blood, which makes their transfusion options a bit limited, but their immune system reaction is more safe.
4. Special strength in immune system
Some research suggests that O blood groups may have better natural resistance against some viral and bacterial infections. For example, in the Covid-19 infection, there was a low risk of O group people (although it is yet to be concluded completely).
5. Relationship with diet and metabolism
According to the theory “Blood Type Diet”, people with O blood groups are faster and they perform better than protein-rich diet (such as meat, fish). However, this theory remains the subject of debate in the scientific community.
6. Heart disease risk slightly less
Several studies have shown that the risk of heart attack and stroke in O blood group may be slightly lower, especially compared to A and AB group. This may be due to the difference in blood clotting factors and cholesterol profiles.
7. Universal donor (not for red blood cells, but for plasma)
O positive people can donate red blood cells only to O+ and O-Blood Group, but their plasma can be given to A, B and AB. They are very important in terms of plasma donation.
