VITAMIN MINERAL DEFICIENCY
Vitamins and minerals, which are generally found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, help many events to occur in the body. Therefore, deficiencies are seen in the metabolic pathways in the body. Sometimes these deficiencies reach serious dimensions and our body starts to give some signals.
Fatigue: If you have been feeling physically and mentally tired for a while or have trouble sleeping, vitamin B1 deficiency may be the cause.
Skin Diseases: In vitamin B6 deficiency, cell regeneration slows down in the body and accordingly, cracks and eczema can be seen on the skin.
Anemia: Vitamin B9 (folate) is involved in the production of red blood cells in the body. Therefore, one of the causes of anemia may be a lack of vitamin B9.
Delayed Healing of Wounds and Dry Skin: The protein called collagen is responsible for cell renewal in the body. It makes our skin look more lively and bright by renewing it, and reduces the signs of aging thanks to the elasticity and moisture it adds to the skin. Since vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of collagen, vitamin C deficiency can delay the healing of wounds and cause dry-wrinkled skin.
Unhealthy Hair and Nails: Our hair and nails are made up of a protein called keratin. The deficiency of vitamin B7, also known as biotin, which is involved in the production of keratin, interrupts the production of keratin. This is hair loss and lifelessness; It manifests itself in the form of breakage and staining on the nails.
Bone-Joint Pains: Calcium is needed for the growth, development and repair of bones. Vitamin D contributes to bone health by providing calcium absorption from the intestines. Therefore, the cause of our bone pain may be calcium and vitamin D deficiency.
WARNING: These signals from the body indicate that you need to see a doctor, the definitive diagnosis is made with blood tests. Deficiencies will be replaced as soon as possible with the nutritional supplement that your doctor deems appropriate and a healthy nutrition plan specific to you that your dietitian will implement.
