Vitamins and Minerals- Why Vitamins Are Crucial To Body Development
Our bodies need vitamins and minerals to function normally and stay healthy. In fact, most of the diseases that invade our bodies do so for lack of these crucial elements in the body. Vitamins have been described as protective foods, meaning that they help the immune system to stay strong and healthy to fight diseases and other unwanted pathogens.
Minerals on the other hand play a crucial role in building the body organs and making them functional. They are obtained from the soil and they get to our bodies through the plants we consume. Vitamins come in two categories; fat and water soluble. The fat soluble ones are able to survive in the body much longer than the water soluble ones. The fat soluble vitamins include vitamin A, D, E and K.
Vitamin A is very crucial in sight-related roles. It makes vision in the darkest of nights possible for us and also helps us in identifying and telling colors apart. Foods that are known to be a rich source of vitamin A include milk, liver, dark green leafy vegetables and carrots. Vitamin D is responsible for making our bones and teeth very strong. It does not play a direct role in making them strong, but it helps the body to absorb calcium from the sun. Foods rich in vitamin D include milk, fish, eggs and liver among others.
Vitamin E is responsible for the formation of red blood cells and is derived from whole grains, leafy green vegetables, egg yolks, nuts and seeds. Vitamin K helps the blood to clot hence prevents bleeding to death. It is available from Soya beans oil, broccoli, green leafy vegetables and egg yolk. The fat soluble vitamins are vitamin C and those that belong to the B-complex category and they include B1, B2, B6 and B12. They need to be taken regularly because they do not stick in the body for long. Thy can be found in foods like dairy products, poultry products and beans.

Question by Yeah Right: What vitamins and minerals prevent you from bruising easily?
I get bruised easily. If I accidentally hit the table, I get bruised. Maybe it’s because my skin is sensitive or I’m not eating enough vitamins and minerals. Do I also need to put any cream on my skin to prevent that?
Best answer:
Answer by David
None. Poor circulation is the problem. Do daily aerobics and stretching to get the blood flowing better. To make you more bruise-resistant, do some weightlifting also.

This stuff to me tasted way too sweet to be considered Diet Coke. I can’t believe its still being made.
Yep, I also didn’t like it that much,,,
take a multi vitamin with calcium and that should work, also check with a doc to make sure its just a vitamin deficiancy. God Bless ~~
Try finding ways of adding more fiber in your diet.
omgosh! i get bruised easily too!!
Try vitamin B6 and B12, also take calcium, Iron and Vitamin E. Or really good daily vitamin should help.
vitamin c
Some people tend to bruise easily because the walls of their veins are not at strong as they should be. You can help this by building up the muscles around the veins to protect them.(strength training) Vitamin A and Vitamin K both help to strengthen your veins.
Iron- that is all you need more of. I have the same problem.
I think you should ask a doctor. I always thought is was because you were anemic that you bruised easily.
I don’t use anything because i take really good care of myself.
