Some people these days really don't eat fruit though. I knew one girl who was 15 or 16 who got severe scurvy..so it can happen. But i'm pretty sure we're all safe. ha

Bruising can also be a sign of anaemia. I had bruising until I mentioned it to a friend who has a degree in nutrition. He said to take some B-complex supplements, and I've been fine ever since.

I'm actually quite sure I'm slightly anaemic. :/ Blargh.

B complex helped me. !! i bruise easily as well. its pretty funny when someone just grabs my arm and I have a full on bruise handprint.
