How Can You Prevent Easy Bruising?

When capillaries are fragile, they are damaged easily. Luckily, you can help build up the strength of your capillaries and make them more flexible by adding lots of bioflavinoids to your daily diet.

Some of the best sources are:

 Alliums such as onions, garlic and their cousins.

Dark berries and other deep purple and red fruits.

Dark green leafy veggies.

If you are eating a healthy and balanced whole foods diet that consists of more than half fresh fruits and vegetables, you can be fairly certain of protecting yourself against easy bruising.

Supplement For Strong Capillaries and Healthy Skin

If you are just now beginning to improve your diet and resolve the problem of easy bruising, you may wish to add some supplements.

Some of the best are:

 #1 Vitamin C is a supplement that is generally positive for all people at all times. If you do not have enough vitamin C, you are very likely to bruise easily and suffer a number of other health consequences.

You may have seen that the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C is only about 65 milligrams. This is sorely inadequate. This amount is only enough to prevent you from getting scurvy.

 According to Dr. Linus Pauling, human beings need as much vitamin C daily as gorillas in the wild. This is well over 10,000 milligrams a day! Generally speaking, most people do pretty well on 1000 milligrams of vitamin C daily.

#2 Rutin is often prescribed as a support supplement for people suffering from hemorrhoids and varicose veins. This bioflavonoid has been found to be very helpful for people who have skin lesions caused by progressive pigmented purpura.

When used in combination 1000 milligrams of vitamin C daily, rutin at a dose of 50 milligrams two times daily effectively hastens the healing of bruising.

#3 Hesperidin is another bioflavonoid that is very effective in strengthening the capillaries. In combination with vitamin C, hesperidin has been shown to be of great value to women going through menopause who are also experiencing inexplicable bruising.
