Hello Again:

When your body is hit by a sudden impact or a blow, it is normal to see red marks appear on your skin. If the blow is sufficiently hard, the red mark may turn into a bruise due to blood escaping from the injured capillaries and accumulating below the skin around the area of impact.

Within the first two to three days your bruise will probably change from red to blue or purple. From that point forward your bruises will tend to get progressively lighter as the body re-absorbs the blood as part of the natural healing process.

A fresh bruise can be tender to the touch and disconcerting to look at because of its dramatic coloration. So long as your pain is not continuous and gradually diminishes, you will also see the bruises appearance gradually become less frightful to look at.

Easy bruising can develop for people with nutritional deficiencies such as a lack of vitamin C or vitamin K; or for those who take aspirin or warfarin for blood thinning purposes. Bruising easily may also develop for people who may be taking supplements that contain natural blood thinning substances. Be cautious about what you put into your body, and learn about any possible side effects.

Because skin and capillary walls tend to become thinned in older people, they tend to develop the tendency to bruise easily. This tendency is further enhanced by the loss of collagen production in their bodies, which removes the natural cushioning from normal bumps which results in bruising.

Conditions like hemophilia, leukemia, and diabetes have as one of their symptoms the tendency for people to bruise easily. Medical advice should be sought if your easy bruising is accompanied by other symptoms common to these diseases.

The impact or trauma that occurs from bumping into a hard object so that it causes bruising, will be greatly magnified if you are afflicted by hemophilia, diabetes, or leukemia. Because these diseases all have disorders of the blood affecting normal clotting, bruises will be more frequent, much bigger, and more brilliantly colored than they would be in someone not combating these diseases.

If your being prone to bruising easily is accompanied by symptoms that you feel might indicate your easy bruising is caused by a more serious condition than simple aging, you should get medical advice as soon as practical. When you and your doctor determine that your bruising is a normal function of aging, then its time for you to do the same thing that people all over the world are doing and start following the all natural Bruises Be Banned daily supplement program which has been proved to help totally avoid bruising easily.

Remember that the only thing you have to lose by not following the Bruises Be Banned daily supplement program is your social life due to your embarrassment caused by your ugly bruises.

Until next time,
