Late autumn and early winter are characterized by a complete change in diet, from which fresh fruits and vegetables gradually disappear, resulting in beriberi. Each vitamin in the body has its own field of activity and the lack of even one of them can cause many problems. Vitamin deficiency is accompanied by lethargy and drowsiness, weakness and fatigue. Weakened immunity inevitably leads to irritability and irascibility, the appearance of absent-mindedness and memory impairment. We will tell you how to identify and get rid of beriberi, even without a medical education.
Manifestations of vitamin deficiency
Usually, the lack of each vitamin or group has its own manifestations. For example, a lack of vitamins A, P, C leads to peeling and dryness of the skin, the appearance of rashes, roughness on the buttocks and thighs, furunculosis. The lack of the last two vitamins is also manifested by bleeding gums. If the skin on the lips cracks, scratches do not heal for a long time, then it is necessary to increase the intake of B vitamins and vitamin PP. B12 and A will help reddened eyes, and PP, B2 and B6 are simply necessary for dull and brittle hair. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to get serious about your body.
Let's switch to proper nutrition
First of all, doctors advise you to put your mental state in order. Any stress only increases vitamin deficiency, and only their absence helps to restore the body. Pay special attention to nutrition: eat plant foods and other foods that contain macro- and microelements more often. It does not make sense to eat fruits and vegetables grown in greenhouses, since they do not contain substances necessary for the body. Try to eat fresh plant foods, for this the raw preservation method is suitable. Similarly, blackcurrants and lemons are easy to store. Since we especially need vitamin C in winter, it should always be kept in the refrigerator without fail.
Start taking vitamins
Vitamin functions:
- vitamin A moisturizes the skin, relieves it from overdrying;
- vitamins of the B group are needed by the nervous system;
- vitamin C neutralizes colds;
- vitamin D strengthens nails, hair, bones;
- Vitamin E eliminates toxins and increases energy.
In principle, with proper nutrition, it is almost impossible to get the necessary norms of all the above vitamins and at the same time not overeat. In this regard, doctors recommend taking vitamin complexes. Only a specialist will help you to choose the right combination.
Vitamin complex assistants
To enhance the effect of the complex and improve your own well-being, you need to eat fish, meat products, liver, as well as potatoes and nuts at least four times a week. They provide the body with vitamin B6, which is responsible for physical fitness, fat breakdown and normal metabolism. It is recommended to drink all this during the day with green tea and fruit drinks. Instead of confectionery, it is better to choose natural honey.
