What vitamins does your body lack?
A deficiency in a single vitamin can significantly impair your well-being. Woman’s Day will tell you how to identify this “weak link” and fill the lack of vitamins in the body, without resorting to the help of pharmaceuticals.
Vitamin A
You are missing it if:
- Skin inflammation often occurs
- Appetite has noticeably decreased
- At times it seems that you have become less able to see
Who’s guilty: too few fatty foods on your menu. The fact is that vitamin A is poorly absorbed by itself: in order for the body to receive it in the right amount, fats are needed, both vegetable and animal.
What to do: Include in your diet yellow-orange vegetables and fruits, horse mackerel, mackerel or other fish rich in fat, egg yolk, butter, milk.
What vitamins are missing
Vitamin B
You are missing it if:
- You often have a cold
- Sleep poorly at night
- Your hair is dull and splits
- The slightest pressure drops give you headaches.
Who’s guilty: a lack of fiber and, as a result, a violation of intestinal motility – it is in this organ that vitamin B is absorbed, therefore, any malfunctions in the work of the gastrointestinal tract cause a deficiency of this vitamin in the body.
What to do: include in the diet more grains, vegetables and nuts. Cabbage is also very useful – both fresh and sauerkraut.
To improve bowel function, eat wholemeal bread and include more grains in your diet.
Vitamin C
You are missing it if:
- You get tired quickly
- Even small scratches take a very long time to heal
- Sometimes gums bleed
- You get fat, although the diet has not changed
Who’s guilty: bad habits and lack of sleep. Those who smoke need much more vitamin C, since nicotine very quickly removes it from the body and interferes with absorption. Alcohol is no less detrimental to vitamin C.
What to do: an increase in the amount of citrus fruits in the diet will not give the desired result: the acid contained in large quantities in these fruits can cause an allergic reaction. Kiwi, broccoli and spinach, syrup or rosehip infusion (drink a glass in the morning on an empty stomach) will help to fill the lack of vitamin C. Also try to fight bad habits and load yourself less with work, or better – take a vacation.
Kiwi, broccoli and spinach will help fill the lack of vitamin C.
Vitamin D
You are missing it if:
- You become irritable, you feel muscle weakness.
- The dentist notes the deterioration of the condition of the tooth enamel
- Sometimes joints hurt.
Who’s guilty: lack of sun, since vitamin D is naturally produced under its rays. Lack of this vitamin interferes with the absorption of calcium, and this affects the condition of teeth and bones.What to do: More exposure to the sun, especially since now it has finally begun to appear, you can go to the solarium. The champion in vitamin D content is black caviar, but recently it has been sold at such exorbitant prices that it would be more profitable to fly to some hot country for vitamin D.
