Keep An Eye On These Common Signs Of Vitamins And Minerals Deficiency

A balanced and nutritious diet is suggested by doctors and dieticians. But do you know what that diet should be?

A balanced diet helps you maintain a healthy body. It provides your body with essential nutrients like water, micronutrients like vitamins and minerals, macronutrients, and calories. 

Not getting the required amounts of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals have adverse effects on your health. It might range from minor fatigue to serious illnesses. Let’s see what are the signs and symptoms caused by the deficiency of vitamins and minerals:

·        Night blindness

·        Dry skin 

·        Acne-like bumps 

·        Colour blindness

·        Macular degeneration

Your body needs various vitamins and minerals for proper growth, and development of the body, and also to prevent chronic health conditions. All these micronutrients are not produced by your body on their own that is why you have to get them from your food. However, the amount of your nutrient consumption depends on your age, current health, and lifestyle. Not getting enough vitamins and minerals increases the risks of your body being nutrient deficient.

It is imperative to keep an eye on the consumption and absorption of micronutrients in your body. Most of these micronutrients interact with each other and sometimes hinder each other’s absorption. Hence, it leads to deficiency and further serious health conditions.
