A member asked:

My daughter is nearly 5 but always seems to have excessive bruises on legs both of them , is something wrong as do not know how she gets so many?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check up time: She's probably fine, just a normal, active 5 year old. However, she should get a check up and a blood test to be sure. Make sure she eats plenty of phytonutrient dense foods (that means vegetables and fruit). Vitamin c is one vitamin important in prevention of bruising. Iron and zinc are a couple others.
