Is There a Link Between Junk Food and Easy Bruising?
If you’re dealing with bruising easily, to the extent where you don’t even remember how you got the bruise at all, or when you slightly bump into a cabinet door or countertop can make you bruise outrageously, you are probably wondering what it all means. One of the conditions that may be plaguing you could be a vitamin deficiency, and one of the causes for that might well be because of your consumption of junk food. Junk food is quite appropriately named, and when you consider the empty calories that you are pumping into your body, especially without the beneficial quality of added vitamins, it shows you an easy reckoning about why your bruises seem to be getting much more severe than they were in the recent past.
The first thing that you should analyze is what are the causes for bruises to occur. As we grow older, our skin thins and becomes more delicate, and a number of separate conditions can then cause our capillaries to become much more fragile. On account of this frailty, even an insignificant bump can cause the capillary walls to break when they shouldn’t otherwise, and that can be the reason you face some fairly spectacular bruises. The solution for overcoming bruising easily lies with providing your body with the resources it must have to heal the capillary walls, should they be broken, and to strengthen them so that they are not as likely to break in the first place.
The problem that occurs when you consume too much junk food evolves from the fact you are not getting the nutritional resources that your body needs to shore up its defenses. How many junk food products can you name that will give you a good dose of vitamin C, or vitamin A, or even iron? When you eat junk food, you are basically just stocking up on complex sugars. Complex sugars result in an immediate dump of energy into your system, which can help you get through a rough spot, but you are going to feel a drop (or crash) very soon thereafter. After the drop, you are likely going to be grumpy, and the temptation will then become to look for another high. On the other hand, simple, or non-complex, sugars will break down more slowly, which will give you a much easier time making your temporary burst of energy last longer.
If you are eating junk food on a regular basis, you are likely distracted from eating the foods that are right for you’re trying to aid your body’s ability to heal itself, and depending on your family’s medical history, junk food could also be a contributing reason for your contracting diabetes. Easy bruising is one of the warning signs and symptoms of diabetes, so that is just another reason for you to be more careful about the kinds of food that you eat. Spend one day and commit everything that you eat to writing. From your list question yourself, Am I getting the required dosages of the vitamins and nutrients that I should have? Does your list seem to scream out the likelihood that you have any deficiencies?
You should take some time and really give thought to your diet. If you ever want to rid yourself of the tendency to bruise easily, you need to concentrate on having a good diet.
