5 Warning Signs You Need More Vegetables In Your Diet NOW!

#2 – You bruise easily

Frequent bruising or bleeding gums could be a tell-tale sign of vitamin deficiency, mainly vitamin C and vitamin K which are found in red chili peppers, tomatoes, tomato juice, and leafy vegetables such as kale, parsley, or Brussels sprouts.

Vitamin C contributes to the building of walls of blood vessels and is needed to heal wounds whereas vitamin K produces the protein (prothrombin) that is essential to helping the body stop bleeding, so it is no wonder that you bruise easily and your wounds heal slowly if you don’t eat enough of it.

Adding more vegetables and fruits that are high in these two vitamins in your diet can help heal your wounds faster.
