Hello steemians good to have you all here today visiting my blog, today I will be participating in a contest organize by @mesola with the theme "why is blood being considered as part of our health"

What Is Blood

As one of the most functional unit of life the term blood is a red liquid that flows inside our body which are visible only when we cut ourselves and it is divided into four different types and with it comes different functions and responsibilities for the survival of man.

• Red blood cell
• White blood cell
• Blood platelets
• Plasma

Why Do We Need Blood

This question is just like asking someone "why do you need life?" Because blood is life and without it the human body can't function even with animals

That is why when a person unfortunately gets involved in an accident and in the process looses a lot of blood, first of all in other to keep such a person alive the doctors will have to conduct a blood transfusion so as to get the patient cells up and working.

So we need blood in our body in other to survive since blood serves as a transport medium that moves nutrients from one part of the body to where it is needed so as a functional unit of life we definitely need blood to survive
