You may not realize it but lack of exercise can contribute to the fact that you bruise easily. This may at first sound somewhat strange, but in the same way that your diet can affect your tendency to bruise easily, so can a lack of proper regular exercise.
Not only does exercise tone your external, visible body; but it also enhances your internal body’s systems as well. When your internal body’s systems are working at their optimum levels, you will not bruise as easily, and your recovery will be much quicker if you do happen to bruise. So let’s examine why and how a regular exercise program can help you avoid easy bruising.
Our discussion about an exercise routine will be concerned with aerobic or cardiovascular exercise specifically. Although the terms cardiovascular and aerobic exercise mean basically the same thing, some people refer to aerobic exercise when they speak of weight loss programs, and refer to cardiovascular exercise as for muscle building programs. Cardiovascular exercise addresses exercise of your heart and your lungs, and when you improve the functions of your circulatory system and lungs, any bruising you sustain will be minimized and you will recover from bruising much quicker.
When you do regular aerobic/cardio exercise, you increase the amount of blood that is pulsing through your veins and blood vessels, and this has the effect of making the walls of those blood vessels stronger. As you may already be aware, bruising is caused when the tiny blood vessels known as capillaries just beneath the skin are broken on some type of impact, when that part of your body collides with something, so any strengthening of the capillary walls is all to the good.
Two distinct types of benefits can be derived from balancing exercises. Balancing exercises strengthen the body’s core, which otherwise is typically unaffected by other types of exercise, and a strong core is highly desirable for your overall body’s health and general physical fitness. The improved sense of coordination and balance gained from a stronger core enhances your ability to avoid bumping into things, tripping over your own feet, or losing your balance and falling; where any of these situations can cause bruising.
An increased metabolic rate gained through your cardiovascular/aerobic exercise program is a major benefit for your overall good health. Dieters know that increasing your metabolic rate increases your ability to burn fat more quickly, which takes place even when you are asleep. Raising your metabolic also enhances your body’s ability to recover from injury quickly. A higher metabolic rate means that you’ll recover more quickly from any bruises that you may sustain. The twofold benefits of using exercise to raise your metabolic rate allows you two ways to win.
Starting an aerobic exercise program is not difficult, and you don’t even need to leave your neighborhood. Walking, jogging, tennis, swimming, and cycling can all be effective means of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise, and you don’t have to kill yourself physically with any method you choose. All that you need to do is increase your heart and lung rate, which will naturally increase your metabolic rate and contribute to an improved healing time from any bruising you may sustain.
Once you have your diet well balanced, and you are following an aerobic exercise routine, you should still consider following a daily supplement program like Bruises Be Banned. This all natural, proprietary formulation can further help you overcome your tendency to bruise easily, and it can help you stop bruising altogether.
