When Your Body Lacks VitaminsWritten by Charlene J. Nuble
The body needs a minimum amount of vitamins and minerals each day to remain healthy and function properly. A balanced diet normally supplies sufficient vitamins. However, serious disorders can still develop if diet does not meet your body’s needs. Symptoms of a deficiency in vitamins and minerals usually appear when lack is already in a relatively advanced level.For instance, people who do not have enough of vitamins A, B1 and B2 suffer from recurring tiredness, mental or emotional disturbances, loss of appetite and chapped lips, among others. The common causes of these vitamin deficiencies include poor eating habits, alcoholism, emotional stress, improper absorption of vitamins and minerals (usually due to liver or intestinal disorders), intake of medicines that interfere with ingestion of vitamins and lack of exposure to sunlight. If you constantly feel sluggish and suffer from chronic health-related inconveniences, you might be short of vitamins your body needs to function properly. Doctors will usually prescribe supplements that address lack of vitamins and minerals in body. However, also keep in mind not to overdo it, as an excess of vitamins can also be harmful. Do you still need to take vitamins even if you maintain a healthy diet? The answer is yes. Proper food consumption should be accompanied by right vitamins and minerals. Vitamins serve as buffers in event that your diet does not meet your daily requirements fully. Surely you can’t calculate how much vitamins and minerals your body takes in with every meal you consume. And while most people take vitamins to avoid common deficiency-related diseases, not all products available cater to what your body requires. There are those that still lack what you need.
