Deficiency
What is nutritional deficiency?
Nutritional deficiencies happen when your body does not receive or cannot absorb enough necessary nutrients from food. When our bodies become imbalanced, it can have an impact on our immune response, skin health, energy levels, and more. Over time, gaps can cause chronic conditions and, without the correct intervention, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or thyroid disease.
Types of nutritional deficiency:
- Iron deficiency: Causes paleness, anemia, and fatigue.
- Vitamin D deficiency: Weaken bones, and may lead to skin disorder.
- Vitamin C deficiency: Causes weak immunity and slow wound healing.
- Vitamin A deficiency : Vitamin A deficiency causes dry skin and bad eyesight.
