People over their 40s should be aware of their nutrition. During this age, our bodies tend to extract less and less vitamins from what we eat. Here are a couple of signs that you’re not getting enough from your everyday-sandwich.
Vitamin A – Your skin has become dry and wrinkly. Your hair losses its sheen and turns into grey. It can cause headaches, nausea and hair loss. Get your fill of Vitamin A when you eat carrots, egg, milk, fish liver oil and apricots.
Vitamin E – Your hair has turned to grey and your skin has become dry. Vitamin E rejuvenates, so if you had less of it, what’s the opposite of rejuvenate? For a fill, eat lots of green leafy vegetables, seeds, beans and nuts. Be careful though, too much Vitamin E may increase your blood pressure --- and lead to heart disease.
Vitamin B – Tingling of the hands/feet. Deficiency of Vitamin B, most specifically Vitamin B12 affects the whole body. It causes mood swings, anxiety and insomnia. The best way is to get a supplement with Folic acid. It can reverse the effects that B-deficit anemia cause.
Deficiencies of these vitamins can cause several health conditions. The best way to counter it is by eating the right amount of food, coupled with a healthy diet. Balanced supplements are also recommended for those who worry that they are getting too little or too much.
