| Q. | What vitamin is a person lacking if you bruise easily? | Related Search:
Other - Health | | | I got this huge bruise under my bicep and it doesn't even seem like I hit it that hart but it is so big and so disgusting. Am I lacking a certain vitamin that can help me not bruise so easily?
| | A. | Bruising easily does not mean that you have a serious health problem, especially if bruising is minimal or only shows up once in a while. Women bruise more easily than men, especially from minor injuries on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.
Older adults often bruise easily from minor injuries, especially injuries to the forearms, hands, legs, and feet. As a person ages, the skin becomes less flexible and thinner because there is less fat under the skin. The cushioning effect of the skin decreases as the fat under the skin decreases. These changes, along with skin damage from exposure to the sun, cause blood vessels to break easily. When blood vessels break, bruising occurs.
Occasionally easy bruising is a sign of a health problem and may be caused by:
A medication, such as aspirin, blood thinners (anticoagulants), or some antibiotics.
Infection that causes the buildup of toxin in the blood or tissues (sepsis).
A bleeding or clotting disorder, such as hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease, or thrombocytopenia.
Other diseases that affect clotting. Examples include:
Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as lupus.
Liver disease, such as cirrhosis.
Some types of cancer, such as Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, or multiple myeloma.
Inflammation of a blood vessel (vasculitis).
Malnutrition, such as deficiencies of vitamins B12, C, or K, or folic acid.
Bruises that do not go away within 4 weeks of an injury may mean that another problem is preventing healing or that the injury was worse than you suspected.
Call your health professional for an evaluation if you are concerned about how easily you bruise, or if bruises don't seem to be healing normally. Your health professional can evaluate the cause of your bruises and recommend treatment.
Bruising easily is rarely a sign of nutrient deficiency. Bruises are created when the tissue just under the skin gets injured, resulting in a buildup of blood that causes the skin to turn black and blue. Sometimes easy bruising runs in families. And women are more likely to bruise from a minor injury, especially on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. It is also common for older adults to bruise easily as capillaries age and the skin’s protective layers become thinner. Although uncommon, vitamin C deficiency can sometimes result in a heightened susceptibility to bruising.
Increased bruising may be a side effect of certain medications that thin the skin or interfere with the blood’s ability to clot, such as steroids, cortisone drugs, aspirin, or ibuprofen. It is also thought that some dietary supplements, including vitamin E, fish oil, ginger, garlic, and ginkgo—which can have similar effects on the blood and skin—may augment bruising. However, the health benefits of these medications and supplements are probably worth a little extra bruising, so consult with your health care practitioner before discontinuing them.
If you are concerned about how easily you bruise, try increasing your intake of the bioflavonoid compounds found in plant foods, such as citrus fruits and berries, which can potentially reduce bruising by strengthening capillary walls and the surrounding connective tissue. If bruises don’t seem to be healing normally, visit your health care practitioner to evaluate the cause and discuss treatment. | | | |

| Q. | What would happen if you are lacking of water in your body? | Related Search:
Biology | | | What would happen if you are lacking of water in your body?
| | A. | A human can survive a maximum of three days without the intake of water, assuming you are at sea level, at room temperature, and a relative humidity. In colder temperatures and/or with rain or snow the length or likelihood of survival would be greatly reduced. In addition to the aforementioned priorities, length of survival also depends on amount of physical exertion. A typical person will lose 2-3 liters of water per day in ordinary conditions, but more in hot, dry, or cold weather. A lack of water causes dehydration, resulting in lethargy, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and eventually death. Even mild dehydration reduces endurance and impairs concentration, which is dangerous in a survival situation where clear thinking is essential. Your body requires 4L to 6L of water or other liquids each day in the wilderness to avoid dehydration and to keep your body functioning properly. Dark yellow or brown urine indicates dehydration. Because of these risks, a safe supply of drinking water must be located as soon as a shelter is built (or even before, depending on conditions). | | | |
| Q. | What is a superficial personality or one lacking depth? | Related Search:
Psychology | | | Don't say the cliche, "a ditzy girl with big boobs and blonde hair". I'm talking about people in general. By lacking depth, I don't really mean being shallow, like when it comes to choosing who you're going to date. I mean one who can't really get into deep conversations, or doesn't really think about things a lot. I'm not sure what it is, so explain if you can.
| | A. | A lot of time people who you may presume as superficial are actually very insecure inside, so they substitue that insecurity with behavior that would suggest that they are overconfident. I know plenty of people who do not think about the meaning of life, where we come from, the genocide in Darfur. ect. For those people I constantly try to immurse them in intelectual thought, my 18 year old brother is a wonderful example. After years of pure ignorance pooring from his lips I finally coaxed him into having a conversation on the negative impact that G. Bush has on our country. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually you can guide someone into using the full 10% of there brains that they are allotted. | | | |

Ah vitamitn d thats great would a multi vitamin be enough?
| | A. | Vitamin D. You get a certain amount of it from the sun. There is an epidemic now of children lacking in Vitamin D because they are not playing outside and are cooped up all year round in front of the tv and video games. Get your children a good multi-vitamin, such as Flintstones, and they'll be fine. | | | |
