Due to the increasingly busy lives, American citizens are finding it harder to balance work pressures with their family lives. For this reason, people are turning towards fast food and convenient ready-made meals to end their evening meals. However, eating like this too often can leave you at risk of vitamin deficiencies. People with vitamin deficiencies often feel tired along with other unrecognized symptoms. Below are some signs that you may be lacking in vitamins and how you can naturally treat this condition.

  1. Need to supplement mint?

If you still have bad breath even after brushing your teeth and using mouthwash, your oral hygiene may be good, and vitamin B3 deficiency may be the cause. Vitamin B3 is responsible for liver function and its deficiency can cause improper functioning of your stomach and intestines, and poor digestion, which is the main cause of bad breath. This deficiency is also often developed in people struggling with long-term alcohol addiction. To supplement these vitamins more in your diet, you can eat fatty fish, organic meat, sunflower seeds, and beets.

  1. Feeling more depressed than usual?

Sometimes feeling down is very normal, but if you find yourself in a prolonged state of sadness and starting to feel depressed on a daily basis, you may be lacking in vitamin B1. To keep your brain and nerve cells functioning, your body needs an adequate amount of vitamin B1. Alcohol addiction, loss of appetite, and Crohn’s disease are possible causes of low vitamin B1 levels and can lead to untreated mental issues. Eating foods like mung beans, lentils, black molasses, and liver is a great way to supplement the B1 you need.

  1. Scratches and bruises that won’t heal

Getting injured is just a small part of life, everyone gets scratches and bruises, but they usually heal within a few days. However, if you find the healing process taking longer than usual, you may need more vitamin C in your diet. When your body is deficient in vitamin C, it lacks the necessary nutrients to heal properly and makes the wounds more prone to infection. Fruits with citruses and leafy greens are a great way to incorporate more vitamin C into your diet.

  1. Slow reaction

Having trouble reacting to simple time-based tasks like someone handing you a drink or interrupting you while another car is trying to merge into the highway lane, may be caused by a vitamin E deficiency in your diet. Similar to vitamin B1, vitamin E acts as a communicator between your brain’s nerve fibers. When you’re lacking in vitamins, this communication becomes increasingly difficult, and your reflexes become slower. Eating plenty of avocados, beans, nuts, and wheat germ are excellent sources of vitamin E, great foods to regain the reflexes needed to perform full-time.

  1. Difficulty seeing at night
  1. Losing sensation in your feet?

We’ve all been bothered by occasional itching and numbness that causes difficulties balancing or walking, but if you find this symptom occurring frequently, you may be lacking in vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is responsible for transmitting communication for feeling and balance in the nerve fibers tasked with it because the lack of this vitamin leads to constant numbness and balance issues. To boost B12 in your diet, you need to start consuming more dairy products and natural foods, along with having breakfast cereals supplemented with B12 if you don’t like eating animal products.
