i bruise REALLY easy ... and i dont know why...any suggestions??

Answer 1

Take some vitamins it maybe just that your not getting what you need from your diet. I use to bruise really easy until I started taking vitamins.

Answer 2

50% of Americans consume less than the RDA for vitamin C. 25% consume so little vitamin C they are at risk for developing Scurvy!

There is a very good chance you are deficient in vitamin C- the most common cause of easy bruising.

Suggestions:
1) eat 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day

2) take 500 - 2000 milligrams of vitamin C supplements daily

3) take a quality multivitamin/mineral supplement daily.

4) see a nutrition-oriented healthcare provider (Chiropractor, Naturopathic Physician, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, or that rare Medical Doctor) for a thorough nutritional assesment.

Note: there can be other causes of bruising such as vitamin K deficiency and certain types of blood cancers. So, suggestion #4 above is really important for you.

Best wishes and good luck.

Answer 3

if you are taking ibprofen or asprin regularly, you can bruise more easily because these medications interfere with blood clotting (and thus cause more bleeding into the skin or tissues)

Answer 4

you are most likely lacking potassium or iron. i heard eating bananas help!
