Don’t Do This if You Want to Prevent Bruising!

Hello Again:

We have already spoken about certain items that may be included in our existing diet that can cause easy bruising, but we also need to examine what items we may be leaving out of our diet that can also contribute to our easy bruising.  While we are investigating why our body now seems to bruise so easily, it is time to look at what vitamin, nutrients, and mineral deficiencies we might be dealing with.  Diet deficiencies (I can’t think of my diet being deficient in anything) can have a great deal to do with how our body deals with injuries, and easy bruising could be one result of a lack of essential nutrients in the food we eat.

When we are trying to bring our diet into better balance and how we can overcome some of the basic deficiencies, we will find that bioflavonoids are a great place to start our analysis.  Bioflavonoids are essentially plant pigments that are water soluble.  With more than 4000 varieties identified, they are in a lot of the foods that we already eat, and it is important we understand how they are necessary and beneficial.

In the first place, bioflavonoids act as an antihistamine, and they also important in reducing swelling.  On top of that, they have great anti-viral properties, and they will help improve our general overall health.  They are also excellent for our circulatory system, and we will discover that they can help us heal much more quickly.  One of the best sources of bioflavonoids available is derived from a group of plants generally called bilberry, while another more common source is from all types of citrus fruits.

We cannot afford to overlook the fact that sufficient quantities of vitamin C might be missing from our diet.  Vitamin C is used by the body for a variety of different functions, and there is even some evidence that vitamin C can greatly boost our immune system.  It can help our body reduce swelling, and it can facilitate the quick healing that will help cause any existing bruises fade more quickly and effectively.  Vitamin C is also an important agent in our body’s ability to produce collagen, which reduces wrinkling and helps keep the skin elastic.

When we want to add more vitamin C to our diet, we don’t need to go any further than our local grocery store.  Any citrus fruit is a great choice for adding more vitamin C to our diet, so look for the lemons, limes, and oranges that we can find there.  Eat them raw and we the vitamin C can be absorbed directly into our system.

Vitamin K is another vitamin that we are going to want be certain is available in proper amounts in our diet, and we will discover that it is essential for keeping our circulatory system completely healthy.  It helps heal existing bruises much more quickly, and by adding an adequate amount of vitamin K to our diet, we can help keep bruises from occurring at all.

Another important dietary component in our fight against bruising easily is sulfur.  Sulfur helps our body process and metabolize carbohydrates, and additionally it also helps our body to be able to repair itself.  Given that a bruise is caused by a blood vessel breaking under the skin, we’ll find that quick repair is sometimes essential.  Sulfur is best obtained from a group of plants called bromelains (pineapple is a bromelain) and a compound called MSM.

As we can now see, the various components that are included or excluded in our diet have a major influence on our ability to reduce our easy bruising or prevent bruising altogether.  As we all should know by now, following the daily Bruises Be Banned supplement program is the best way to provide our body with the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that it needs to help us overcome our bruising easily.

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