Eat fresh spinach every day. It is high in iron and folic acid. The folic acid helps your body to utilize the iron better. I also bruised very easily, sometimes even just from leaning up against something for too long. I've tried vitamin c and other things, but I swear that eating fresh spinach (on my sandwiches, anywhere I can get it in) has eliminated that problem. Try it for a couple of weeks, there's nothing to lose!

You may have a blood disorder if you bruise that easily. Have a blood test done to check your iron levels. It may be as simple as increasing your iron intake.

Definitly go see a doctor. It could be nothing but this could be something very serious too. I don't mean to alarm you but bruising can be a sign of leukemia, aplastic anemia, and hepatitis.

take a multi-vitamin. sometimes having low amounts of iron can cause you to bruise easily.

Maybe you should just go have a simple cbc blood test to see if your platelets (blood clotting agents) are okay.

Do you have thin blood? On aspirin therapy? See MD for exam.
