And how to lower risk of heart attacks, donate some of your blood.
"We were extremely surprised to find such a strong relationship between blood donation and protection against heart disease." said by Dr Jukka Salonen, of the University of Kuopio, Finland, who led the research.
The researchers studied the medical records of 2,862 men over a nine-year period.
Of the 153 who were blood donors, only one suffered a heart attack, but among the non-donors the heart attack rate - 12% - was 17 times higher.
The researchers, whose work is featured in New Scientist magazine, believe the reduction in heart disease may be due to the loss of iron associated with blood donation.
