Symptoms Due To A Micronutrient Deficiencies
I’m I micronutrient deficient; no matter where we turn when it comes to a well healthy dietary plan regardless of the diets name, there is a likely chance we may find ourselves with a micronutrient (Vitamin B7, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Chromium, Iodine, Molybdenum) deficiencies.
The United States Department of Agriculture sheds a greater light to many of the same deficient nutrients like vitamin E, folate, calcium and magnesium for example.
In as early as 2009 the USDA pointed out that the U.S. population was deficient in Selenium, Phosphorus, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B12, Copper, Iron, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Magnesium, Calcium, Folate and Vitamin E.
So, if you’re not eating a lot of organic green vegetables and lots of fruits the likeliness you may be deficient in some critical nutrient.
Common signs of nutrient deficiencies can lead to some questions like:
What causes frequent lower leg cramps or ‘Restless Leg’? Did you know that calcium, magnesium and potassium may help the support of proper muscle development and growth and that the lack of these important nutrients can cause persistent discomfort in your feet, calves and the back of your leg(s).
What is causing my bones to be weak? Or why am I experiencing muscle weakness? This could be caused by a number of reasons, but it could be due to a deficiency in vitamin D, an essential nutrient for growth, health and the maintenance of your own structural system.
What is causing my blood not to clot? Essential for normal blood clotting, vitamin K also plays a vital role in bone mineralization and cell growth. Lack of vitamin K can result in bruising, frequent nosebleeds and brittle bones.
What is causing my nails to be weak, brital, spotted or ridged? You may be deficiency in zinc; it is an important trace mineral needed for the proper function of our immune system. Zinc also serves an important role in our cell division and growth.
What is causing sores in my mouth? Or what is causing my tongue to be discolored? You may be deficient in water-soluble B-vitamins that are essential for the health of your mouth and tongue. And, since your body doesn’t store the B vitamins we have to constantly replenish them to maintain our health.
What is causing my mouth to crack on the sides? This could be due to a lack of B12, iron and zinc. Just as a note, if you are on a vegan or vegetarian diet you may want to consider adding these supplements to your diet.
What is causing my poor night vision? You may be able to help yourself by adding vitamin A (retinol), which is essential for promoting good vision and your overall eye health. You may also see improvements to your healthy skin and soft tissues throughout your whole body.
So, as a healthy body tip, again, if you are not eating a lot of organic green colored vegetables, and lots of fruits in your diet the likeliness that you are at risk of finding ourselves with a micronutrient deficiency in some critical nutrient way.
In conclusion if you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, make sure to talk to a doctor for medical advice and advice on supplementation.
