Do you get flustered when you happen to look down and be greeted with one more, dark, blotchy bruise that you don’t remember where you got it? Whether you are sick of the skin sensitivity that these bruises can bring, or you are just tired of dealing with concerned questions from friends, you should really try to discover what you can do to prevent them. The fact that there are a a variety of things that can be bruising causes makes pinpointing the precise reason more than just a little difficult. After all, we’re never sitting still, and it can be difficult to recall things on a daily basis. This is the perfect opportunity to make use of a daily health diary.

Start carrying a notebook around with you. It doesn’t have to be huge, but you should be able to write a fair amount of information in it, while still being small enough to keep with you as you go to work and out to eat. This notebook should just be a list of things that happen to you during the day as they pertain to your body, and the list of things that can go in it may be very long.

Did you have any caffeine, or do you think that maybe its time for you to consider cutting back on the stuff entirely? Did you have any alcohol?

Another thing to think about is what was your activity level like. Did you become exhausted, or did you finish the day with the feeling that you were still full of energy and feeling restless? This is a situation that can mean a great deal, so consider the situation carefully. Did you bump into anything that was hurtful, or did you complete a variety of activities that were tiring though rewarding? This is also the time where you record any new bruises with notes of size and location. With the proper recorded information, you’ll be able to note how long the bruise lasts, and you can record the effects of any treatments you are trying to make them disappear faster.
