My school is hosting a blood drive soon and ever since I was a freshman I have wanted to give blood. Now that I am finally old enough I signed up, only to find out I have a field hockey game the same day. If I donate at around 8:15 in the morning, will I be okay to play at around 3ish? I've researched it some and it seems that within 4 to 5 hours I should be good to go, I just wanted to ask for some personal experiences or opinions.
In addition, I know that I should drink water afterward, but what else should I eat or drink to rehydrate and restore my body more quickly? My friend recommended fruit juices and cookies or other sugary foods.
