This Looks So Easy, Maybe I’ll Try It (Right)!

Hello Again:

If we take a tumble down the hill or if we whack ourselves with our own skis as we try to put them away, we’re probably going to end up with a bruise, but did you know that cross country skiing might otherwise be a great way for us to help overcome our easy bruising? Lots of people, particularly women, find that as they age, it feels like their skin gets less elastic, and when that happens, they are much more inclined to bruise at the least provocation. If you have ever lightly bumped yourself and then found yourself black and blue the next day (black and blue used to be my favorite colors because I saw them constantly), take a moment to consider how cross country skiing may help you.

The first thing that we need to consider when it comes to cross country skiing is that we are looking at an endurance trial. Though getting started should be a rather simple and gentle process, remember that cross country skiing is a sport that requires dedication and concentration. It can be an excellent sport for building muscles and coordination, and it can also be an important way to strengthen our hips and joints against encroaching older age. The grace and strength that are required to begin to master cross country skiing is impressive, but how is this going to help us with our easy bruising problem?

Remember the way that bruises form. First, our body is affected by some sort of trauma, and the result of that trauma is often that the blood vessels near our skin break  When this happens, blood will leak into the traumatized area, but it is not shed because there is no break in the skin. Trauma that does not break the skin but that breaks blood vessels is relatively common. One reason why we do end up getting more bruised as we get older is due to the fact that our skin loses a degree of its elasticity and is, therefore, going to be less protective. For this reason we are going to need to make sure that the walls of our blood vessels are properly strengthened, which we can do through paying close attention to our cardiovascular health.

Cross country skiing is a great way to improve our cardiovascular health, and we’ll discover that it can be a lot of fun as well. Not only do we have a great reason to take a winter vacation, but we are going to have plenty to do when we get there. There are so many different advantages to cross country skiing that we’ll wonder why it took us so long to get started.

Taking up cross country skiing alone is probably not be the complete answer to overcoming our tendency to bruise easily. If not, then it’s certainly time to add the daily supplement program from Bruises Be Banned to our every day routine. We’ve seen the proof that this uniquely formulated, all natural supplement product can help us  reduce bruising or prevent bruising altogether.

Remember that the only thing that we have to lose by not participating in the daily Bruises Be Banned program is our social life because of our ugly bruises.
