People who bruise easily could try eating more pineapple. It’s rich in an enzyme called bromelain which is used to lessen swelling after an injury.

Only a ripe pineapple can produce bromelain so look for one with a fresh tropical smell. But don’t eat more than half a day as too much can cause stomach upsets. (Bromelain is also available in supplement form).
