Many people think fasting before a blood test means avoiding EVERYTHING — including water.

But for many laboratory tests, plain water is actually allowed and often encouraged! 🩸

Drinking water before your blood test can:

✅ Help make your veins easier to find
✅ Make blood collection easier
✅ Reduce the chances of dizziness
✅ Improve your overall comfort during sample collection

However, water means plain water only.

❌ Coffee
❌ Tea
❌ Juice
❌ Soft drinks
❌ Energy drinks

Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or laboratory.

Before today, did you know you could drink water before many blood tests?

🔘 Yes, I knew
🔘 No, I thought fasting meant no water
