5 weird side effects of vitamin deficiency
Look out for these signs
Good food is necessary for the growth and development of our body and mind. A well-balanced diet, packed with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals has numerous health benefits. But sometimes, even after taking a good diet, we miss out on some important minerals and vitamins that cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms. Twitching of eyes, breaking of nails or excessive hair fall, we tend to oversee all these small issues assuming that they are not that important but in reality, these small symptoms speak a lot about what is happening inside your body.
Here is a list of 5 weird things that can happen to you if you are vitamin deficient.
1) Stiff joints and chronic pain
If you feel stiff and experience chronic pain without doing any extreme physical work then it can be a sign of Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium, which is the main building block of the bones. To fix this, try to include more vitamin D rich food in your diet like salmon and egg yolks. Apart from this, you can spend some time in the sun to get some natural Vitamin D.
2) Peeling of nails
It is normal to think that brittle nails are caused due to nail polish and other cosmetic products you use. But sometimes it is not. A variety of factors can lead to peeling and breaking of your nails. This can be due to a lack of biotin or vitamin B7. The deficiency of Vitamin B7 can also lead to chronic fatigue, muscle pain, and cramps. Eat egg yolk, organ meat, fish, dairy, nuts, seeds, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower to balance vitamin B7 deficiency.
3) Dry skin and dandruff
Dry skin and dandruff are other symptoms of vitamin deficiency. While dandruff appears on the head, dry skin can appear on different parts of the body like face, upper chest, armpits, and groin. These are symptoms of poor nutrient, deficient in vitamin B3 and vitamin B2. Foods rich in riboflavin, and pyridoxine like whole grains, poultry, meat, fish, eggs, dairy can prove beneficial.
4) Red or white bumps on the skin
Red or white bumps on the cheek, arms, thighs or buttocks are called keratosis pilaris. These bumps often appear in childhood and disappear in adulthood. At times keratosis pilaris can be due to genetic issues, but it has been found that sometimes it can be due to diets low in vitamins A and C. Include organ meats, dairy, eggs, fish, dark leafy greens, yellow-orange colored vegetables, and fruit in your diet.
5) Burning sensations in the feet

5) Burning sensations in the feet
Tingling
or burning sensation in the feet is quite alarming. If you feel such a
sensation often, then consult your doctor as this can be due to Vitamin
B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is responsible for the production of
hemoglobin. If you avoid this for a long time, it can even permanently
damage your nervous system.
