Because many people eat unhealthy and processed foods, many essential vitamins might be skipped in a daily diet, leaving your body not functioning as it should. The human body shows us when something is not quite right. This article will help you understand the symptoms of vitamin deficiencies, helping you prevent damage and disorders from rearing their ugly heads.
Since vitamins participate in all body functions and reactions, a deficiency or even poor intake of one of them, can affect your body’s daily functioning. This creates the perfect opportunity for diseases to occur.
These 5 common indicators suggest that you have a vitamin deficiency.
1. Hair loss and rashes
When you frequently experience body rashes and hair loss, an indication as to why it occurs could be low zinc, as well as vitamins B7, A, D, E and K. Hair loss is especially indicative of an insufficient intake of zinc. Similarly when you lack iron, wounds will take longer to heal, skin will be drier, and rashes, red spots, and dark bruises may appear. While you can take vitamin supplements, iron and zinc can be consumed through diet.
Try increasing the amount of dried fruit, whole grains and dairy products you eat. Button mushrooms, bananas, pumpkin seeds, avocados, raspberries and brewer’s yeast are especially helpful. It is also recommended that you eat less eggs, as they may interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B7.
2. Cracked mouth corners
