What is a vitamin deficiency?
What are some common nutrient deficiencies and their symptoms?
Some common nutrient deficiencies include iron, calcium, iodine, and magnesium. Iron deficiency can result in anaemia, causing fatigue, shortness of breath, and impaired cognitive function. Inadequate calcium intake may lead to fatigue, insomnia, and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Lack of iodine can cause thyroid dysfunction, weight gain, thinning hair, and dry skin. Magnesium deficiency may result in muscle cramps, fatigue, and abnormal heart rhythms. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness, skin issues, weak immune function, and increased susceptibility to infections. Lack of B complex vitamins may cause anaemia, fatigue, and neurological problems. Vitamin D deficiency can result in weakened immune function, low moods, and impact bone health.
How can you prevent nutrient deficiencies?
To prevent nutrient deficiencies, it's important to incorporate natural food sources rich in essential nutrients into your diet. These sources include nuts, seeds, red meats, poultry, eggs, fish, dairy products, legumes, tofu, and leafy greens. Maintaining a well-balanced and diverse diet can help ensure adequate nutrient intake. If you suspect you may have a nutrient or vitamin deficiency, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and guidance on the appropriate steps to address it.
When should I see my doctor?
If you think you might be at risk of vitamin deficiency or showing any associated symptoms, speak with your doctor who can help determine the next steps for you.
A vitamin deficiency occurs when you don’t have enough vitamins in your body. This can disrupt the body's balance and affect various aspects of well-being, including gut health, vision, muscle strength, and energy levels. It can also lead to short-term and long-term side effects. Vulnerable populations such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with limited access to nutritious food are at a higher risk. Additionally, people with restrictive diets or certain medical conditions may also experience deficiencies.
