Bruising Easily

Since I started on MFP and started on the 1200/calorie per day diet, I noticed that I bruise very VERY easily. And the bruises tend to linger for a really long time. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know what is causing this? Am I deficient in some vital nutrient? Thanks! :wink:

    HA! Great advice!
    Also may want to have your Iron levels checked. When I start bruising easier than normal (and I bruise like a peach as it is) It's usually because I'm anemic. :flowerforyou:

    Funny!


    Ok maybe you should add a mulit vitamin and see if it helps. :) I've always bruised really easy since I was in my early 20's anyway. :)

    Vitamin C and IRon. but also never hurts to have a blood count done and make sure your platelets (part of blood that stops bleeding) are not low.

    Eat spinach, then see if that makes a difference.
