Why Do I Bruise So Easily?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Ageing
Its a harsh reality that our bodies begin to function less well when we are older. Our joints don’t move as well as they used to, our muscles are not as strong as they used to be, our skin is not as supple, and even our organs will struggle to function. It can also mean that our blood vessels become more fragile.
As we get older, our blood vessels begin to lose their elasticity and this means that they will break more easily. We will also lose some of the fat just beneath our skin that would otherwise help to protect us from damage. All this, and more, means that bruises are more likely to appear.
