But have you ever wondered why that pesky injury changes hues? Here�s the scientific explanation. Fluid, as well as red blood cells, leak into the injured area from blood vessels, which contributes to the redness (from the escaped red blood cells), and swelling from the escaped fluid. The swelling and inflammation can be attenuated by immediately applying a cold compress on the newly injured area as it helps prevent extensive tissue damage and fluid leakage. The appearance of the inflamed area changes hours after the injury to a black-blue appearance as the red blood cells rupture allowing the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin to become oxidized and turn a greenish-black color. http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol11no10w.htm http://juvenon.com/jhj/vol11no10w.htm Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:55:03 -0500 Scientists are beginning to say sugar is as damaging to our health as addictive drugs, especially regarding one life-threatening health concern: cancer.
