let’s talk about the five causes of bruising let’s say you have these little

red dots or these little tiny spider veins or some red patch

on your body let’s talk about the potential causes of that

especially if you haven’t injured yourself there are different names for

bruising ecchymosis contusions basically what’s

happening you’re getting capillary damage

right underneath the skin the capillaries are are breaking

and it’s bleeding so number one you could be in a blood thinner that’s the

obvious thing or taking aspirin number two this is uh not very known

low calcium when your calcium goes too low

you get bruising interesting that can come from many different things

it’s usually not low calcium in the diet it’s usually from something like gastric

bypass surgery because when they do this you become

severely low in vitamin d without vitamin d you can’t

absorb calcium so it could be a vitamin d

deficiency that’s creating this low calcium

all right calcium channel blockers that’s the medication for blood pressure

that could do it as well number three low vitamin k1 vitamin k1

helps you clot it’s a fat soluble vitamin

so if you have malabsorption in your gut or you have a lack of bile let’s say you

don’t have a gallbladder or you have gallstones

or you have some liver problem or a kidney problem

you’re not gonna be able to absorb this vitamin let alone this vitamin right

here and then that alone can create bruising

now antibiotics also destroy the bacteria

that make vitamin k1 so vitamin k1 is very very important

because there’s something about bleeding internally that is very anti-survival

so we need to have k1 so not only does it come

from leafy greens and vegetables but it also

comes from your own bacteria so you have this backup

but if you destroy the bacteria that could be one source of vitamin k1

deficiency now also vitamin c can be low vitamin c

has everything to do about keeping your capillaries

strong so without vitamin c you lose the collagen

that surrounds the capillaries and you start

having bleeding one mild version or a subclinical

vitamin c deficiency or scurvy would be bleeding gums so the

capillaries are easily damaged when you brush your teeth

and we know you’re low in vitamin c vitamin c sauerkraut bell pepper

leafy greens pretty much the same vegetables that are loaded with k1

are also loaded with vitamin c but of course

one cause would be let’s say you don’t consume vegetables well that could be

why you’re bruising so we need vitamin c also

sugar blocks the absorption of vitamin c smoking

inhibits vitamin c stress inhibits vitamin c

taking synthetic vitamin c is something i don’t really recommend

um it’s a cheap version of the natural vitamin c

that comes from nature i would recommend you get a food-based or

or a herb that is high in vitamin c or food that is high in vitamin c versus a

just a synthetic vitamin c and number five

low platelets another name for platelets are thrombocytes

these are things in your blood that are associated with

clotting now that could be a low vitamin b12

or low folate which by the way comes from leafy greens

or you’re on some medication and one of the side effects is

low platelets all right next step if you have bruising is to

isolate which one of these are involved and address it
