The average body needs about 3000 mg of Vitamin C a day. They also inhibit two enzymes, collagenase and elastase, which break down connective body tissue. Take more vitamin C! It will normalize activity in the circulatory system, increasing blood flow throughout the body and bind to collagen fibers, thereby increasing blood vessel flexibility. That lovely hormone increases the aging rate of your collagen, the connective tissue that your body is made of, causing those blood vessels to weaken as well, making you more susceptible to bruises. The hormone is normally broken down in the liver along with fat, however, when you’re dieting your body is breaking up more fat than estrogen, leaving a lot more estrogen in the bloodstream than normal. When it comes to unexplained bruising, the hormone estrogen is to blame. So what’s with all the bruises while you’re dieting?
(YAY! You’re not the only one!) Bruises are basically caused by pressure that breaks the walls of your small blood vessels (aka capillaries) which then cause blood to escape under the skin. Ever hear yourself saying…“where did THAT bruise come from?” or “Okay I barely walked into the counter, what’s with the big bruise?”īruising while dieting is actually pretty common among women.
