7.Is My Diet to Blame?
Folic acid (folate) and vitamins C, K, and B12 help your blood clot. If you don’t get enough of these, you may bruise more easily. Try eating more citrus fruit if you’re low in vitamin C. Beef and fortified breakfast cereals are rich in B12. Green leafy veggies like spinach are good sources of vitamin K and folate.
8.Could It Be My Medication?
Blood thinners, aspirin, corticosteroids, and chemotherapy that fights cancer can cause black-and-blue marks. Don’t stop taking your meds on your own, though. Talk to your doctor. They may be able to change your medicine or your dose so you bruise less or not at all.
