April 3, 2015 22:00

When you feel your health is declining, one of the first causes you may think of is an imbalance in your diet.

1. Fatigue

This is a symptom of various nutrient deficiencies, such as blood or iron. Vitamin B12 and potassium deficiencies can also cause your body to ache all over. You should stop your current diet, see your doctor for advice, and start a new plan.

2. Feeling depressed

This symptom can have many causes. However, studies have shown that nutritional deficiencies can also cause depression, specifically omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and certain vitamins and minerals.

3. Hair loss

A lack of vitamin B6 can cause hair loss, but it's also a sign that your body needs more zinc. If your hair is also dry and brittle, it's due to a vitamin A deficiency. So if you lose a few strands, that's normal; but if it's too much, it could be related to a nutritional problem.

4. Acne

Acne can appear at any age, possibly due to a deficiency of niacin, zinc, and several other important fatty acids.

5. Bad breath

Bad breath can be caused by a number of issues, such as tooth decay and sinus infections. However, if your breath smells bad, you may need to add more zinc, B6, or magnesium to your diet. Foods to increase your vitamin and mineral intake include pumpkin seeds, bananas, chicken, green vegetables, beans, and nuts.

6. Bruises

If your skin bruises easily, you may need to supplement with calcium and vitamin C. Folic acid, vitamin K, and B12 deficiencies can also cause this condition.

7. Facial muscle twitching phenomenon

The most obvious sign is that your eyelids twitch. The cause of this condition is a lack of magnesium or potassium in the body. You need to supplement these minerals from salmon, chicken, oranges, tangerines and avocados.

8. Diarrhea

If your body has low levels of vitamin B12, you are more likely to suffer from diarrhea. In addition, zinc, vitamin D and C deficiencies are also the cause of this unpleasant symptom.

9. Memory loss

Frequent absent-mindedness during the day can be a sign of calcium and vitamin B12 deficiency. Additionally, you need to supplement iron in your daily diet.

10. Night blindness

This is a very common phenomenon, but easy to treat. In some cases, the cause is a lack of vitamin A. In others, it may be due to a lack of zinc or vitamins B2, B6.
