Both your body shape and your body function are affected by what you eat; therefore, it makes sense that your diet plays a role in how susceptible your body is to easy bruising.
In today’s modern age, with ready-made meals and fast foods, our diets can contain many more processed foods, and this results in the lowering of the overall efficiency of your bodily functions. Processed foods contain much less by way of natural vitamins, minerals and general nutritional value, and if our bodies do not get the right balance of these important nutrients, they cannot function as well as they should.
Carbohydrates have somewhat mistakenly acquired a bad reputation as part of a balanced diet, but they provide a source for the essential fatty acids that our bodies require, and they are a great source of energy. They are absolutely essential for maintaining good cellular health, and they help your immune system to function at its optimum performance level.
Carbohydrates, in the right proportions in your diet are essential, but you need to understand that there are two distinct forms of carbohydrates; complex and simple. Simple carbohydrates, defined as being high in sugar content, should not become a large part of your diet, because the sugar can give you a quick energy boost that is only temporary, and it will cause you to continually want another brief energy jolt from the sugar. A much longer supply of energy can be obtained from complex carbohydrates. Whole grain foods, fruits, and beans are all excellent sources of foods containing complex carbohydrates. These foods offer the added benefits of being rich in vitamins and other essential nutrients which help enhance your immune system functions promote good cellular health.
Eating too much simple carbohydrates is not only to be avoided from a weight loss diet point of view, but from a general health point too. By including too much processed, simple carbohydrates, you run a greater risk of contracting diabetes, a disease symptomatic of having high levels of sugar in your blood.
Hypertension (or high blood pressure), is another condition that can bring about easy bruising, especially when combined with thinning of the capillary walls of your blood vessels. Hypertension can be caused or exacerbated by having too much sodium, (salt) in your diet, so it is important to watch you salt intake carefully.
You probably don’t think about water being a necessary part of a healthy, balanced diet. An abundance of water is essential for your proper cellular health, and if you maintain good cellular health, you cells will be far less likely to break or rupture, which will in turn reduce bruising when you bump into something accidentally.
Now that you have learned how a healthy, well balanced diet can help you lower your incidence of bruising easily, you should start to modify your diet to fit your new knowledge. Even though you are satisfied with your newly modified diet, if you want to improve your body’s ability to overcome easy bruising, you should consider adding a supplement program like Bruises Be Banned to augment your diet. This daily program has been uniquely formulated from all natural ingredients to help you prevent bruising altogether.
