        "question": "How does a bruise change color over time and what does each stage indicate?",
        "answer": "Bruises typically start red due to fresh blood under the skin. Within a day or two, the color turns bluish-purple as oxygen leaves the blood. Over the next few days, it may turn green, then yellow, as the body breaks down hemoglobin. This color progression helps estimate the age of the injury and monitor healing.",
