You Will Never Overcome Easy Bruising By Doing This!

Hello Everyone:

I’m Jan Doan, and I’ll be carrying on the conversations that you and Carolyn have been having for almost a year now.  CC is going to be spending the bulk of her time for the foreseeable future working on new product design and testing.  She’ll still be contributing to this blog occasionally, but I’ll be doing the majority of the posts for now.  We’ll be revisiting some of her posts from last year for the next few weeks, so that we’ll have the opportunity to get to know each other better.  I hope that over time you’ll become as comfortable with me as you have become with her.  I will be attempting to keep the conversations going by using a similar conversational style as you have become accustomed to with her.

One important part of trying to deal with easy bruising is learning more about what might be making our bruising worse. If you are someone who drinks alcohol on a regular basis, this is an activity that we should definitely evaluate.

Alcohol can definitely play a role in bruising easily so we should consider what our habits are.  Are we seeing bruises that seem to be the result of seemingly nothing at all? One thing that puzzles people is how they can get bruises that seem to come from nowhere. If we cannot remember how we got the bruises that we have at the moment, it is time to take a look at how the alcohol that we consume might be affecting things.

If we want to learn more about any link that exists between alcohol and easy bruising, we have to understand what a bruise is and also what alcohol does to your body. At the most basic level, a bruise is bleeding that occurs just beneath our skin. When capillaries are broken, the blood leaks out and forms a thin clot that is visible through our skin.

Thin capillary walls are one major cause of bruising, but the problem can then be worsened by alcohol. Alcohol actually works to thin the blood.  Alcohol, aspirin and several forms of prescription medication act to make blood flow faster, and they can affect they way that our body is able to slow or stop the flow of blood. When the blood flows freely, the bruises will be darker.

When we cause our body some minor form of damage, we will find that this mild injury causes our capillaries to break. Underneath our skin, the blood will start flowing, and if there is alcohol in our blood, our blood will be thinner than it would be otherwise.

The alcohol is going to keep our blood from clotting in the way that it should, and this can make what would have been a mild bruise into something much more dramatic. Consider the amount alcohol we drink, and consider what we can do to keep it from affecting our bruises. An assessment of how much alcohol we drink is essential in this case.

When we are concerned that alcohol or some other form of blood thinner is causing our bruising, we should look into increasing the amount of iron that we get from our diet or otherwise. Iron is an important part of enhancing blood production in our body, and it will help you clot our blood much more effectively.

You will also find that iron provides our body with an important boost to the immune system. Look for vegetables that have dark green leaves.  Similarly, eating liver can also increase the amount of iron in our system. These foods are an essential part of eating to stay healthy.

Think about how much alcohol we are consuming, and think about how it can affect the amount of bruising that we have been seeing. A change in habits might be precisely what we need to improve matters a little bit, so think about what options we have.

Regardless of our levels of alcohol intake, we know by now that following the Bruises Be Banned daily supplement program is a great way to help prevent bruising altogether.  This, of course, is not to minimize the responsibility that we each assume any time we are consuming alcohol.

Remember that the only thing we have to lose by not following the Bruises Be Banned program is our social life because of our ugly bruising.

Until next time,

Jan
