【血瘀體質】身上經常出現不明來歷的瘀青
容易瘀青要活血疏肝
斑點狗小姐：「EC，我手腳經常有些不明來歷的瘀青，明明沒有碰撞過，但間中就發現青一撻紫一撻，是我的血有問題嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：如果身體容易出現瘀青，伴隨症狀還有舌底血脈色紫、面色和唇色偏紫暗、黑眼圈比較明顯、長暗瘡或被蚊叮後容易留印、容易周身疼痛且痛無定處的話，就代表你屬於血瘀體質，這種體質的人因為血液運行不暢並滯留經脈，化成血瘀，容易出現瘀青。
生活調養上，血瘀體質人士尤其要少吃生冷，因為生冷食物會直接影響體內氣血循環，瘀積經脈更會加劇血瘀情況，適量吃具活血、行氣、疏肝解鬱作用的食材，例如山楂、黑木耳、桃仁、玫瑰花、茉莉花等。平日做適量強度大的運動，例如游泳、球類運動等，有助於消散瘀血。亦建議進行多人參與的球類運動，因為正面的社交活動同時有減壓作用。血瘀人士大多肝氣不舒，所以不宜熬夜，宜在肝經循行時間（午夜1時）前入睡，保證肝血順利更新。

Prone to Bruising

CheckCheckCin: If you are prone to bruising, and also have purplish blood vessels under the tongue, purplish complexion and lips, prominent dark circles, have acne, prone to marks from mosquito bite, prone to body aches, you likely have blood stasis body type.

Those with blood stasis, you should eat less cold/raw food as those food directly affect blood and qi circulation and leads to blood stasis.

It is also recommended to engage in multi-player ball games because positive social activities also have a decompression effect. Those with body stasis constitution mostly have stagnation in liver qi so they should not stay up late. You should go to bed by 11pm to allow the liver to work according to its duty time.
