How to determine which vitamins you are lacking?
VITAMIN A
You miss it if:
– pimples often appear on the skin;
– appetite has noticeably decreased;
– sometimes it seems that your vision has become worse;
– you catch colds more often;
- you have started to develop calluses.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Too few fat-containing products in your menu. The fact is that vitamin A is poorly absorbed on its own, fats are needed, both vegetable and animal.
WHAT TO DO: Include yellow-orange vegetables and fruits, horse mackerel, mackerel or other fatty fish, butter, and milk in your diet.
CHAMPIONS IN VITAMIN A CONTENT: carrots, parsley, spinach.
DAILY REQUIREMENT: 1000 mcg.
VITAMINS OF GROUP B
You miss them if:
– suffer from insomnia;
– hair became dull;
- there is an unpleasant smell from the mouth;
– I often feel dizzy and have a headache;
– dandruff appeared;
– cracks appeared in the corners of the mouth;
- you are depressed;
– I suffer from constipation.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Lack of fiber and, as a result, disruption of intestinal peristalsis. It is in the intestines that vitamin B is absorbed, so any disruption in the gastrointestinal tract causes a deficiency of this vitamin in the body. In addition, B vitamins are responsible for the condition of hair and nails, which, in turn, are the first to signal a deficiency.
WHAT TO DO: Include more cereals, wholemeal bread, vegetables and nuts in your diet. Vitamin B12 is found in beef, pork and milk. There is a lot of vitamin B3 in poultry, sea fish, legumes and wheat sprouts.
CHAMPIONS IN VITAMIN B CONTENT: brewer's yeast, sprouted wheat grains, bran, liver.
DAILY REQUIREMENT:
B1 – 1.5 mg; B2 – 1.3 mg; B5 – 4–7 mg; B6 – 1.6 mg; B12 – 2 mg.
VITAMIN C
You miss it if:
– you get tired quickly;
– even small scratches take a very long time to heal;
– you are gaining weight, although your diet has not changed;
- Do you smoke;
– bruises often remain on the skin.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Bad habits and lack of sleep. Those who smoke need much more vitamin C, since nicotine very quickly removes it from the body and interferes with its absorption. Alcohol is no less destructive to vitamin C.
WHAT TO DO: Unfortunately, eating more citrus fruits is not always the solution, an allergic reaction is possible. But kiwi, broccoli, spinach, rosehip syrup or infusion will help.
CHAMPIONS IN VITAMIN C CONTENT: strawberries, black currants, sorrel.
DAILY REQUIREMENT: 60 mg.
VITAMIN D
You miss it if:
- you have become irritable;
- your teeth are decaying;
– sometimes my joints hurt.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Lack of sun, because vitamin D is naturally produced only under its rays. A lack of this vitamin prevents the absorption of calcium, which affects the condition of teeth and bones.
WHAT TO DO: Walk more often, eat egg yolks, liver and seafood. But it is better to take the vitamin in tablets, it is easier to control the daily consumption. Overdose is dangerous!
CHAMPION IN VITAMIN D CONTENT: black caviar.
DAILY REQUIREMENT: 2.5 mcg.
VITAMIN K
You lack it if:
– when cuts occur, the bleeding does not stop for a long time;
– symptoms of diabetes appeared.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Vitamin K deficiency can develop due to improper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and diseases that prevent the formation and excretion of bile. Carbonated drinks, alcohol, and some antibiotics, sleeping pills, and sedatives are also to blame.
WHAT TO DO: Give up soda, add spinach, watercress and Brussels sprouts to your diet. It is also worth considering that this vitamin is also present in olive oil, some fruits (bananas, avocado, kiwi), bran and cereals.
CHAMPIONS IN VITAMIN K CONTENT: white cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce.
DAILY REQUIREMENT: 60–140 mcg.
VITAMIN U
You lack it if:
– an allergic reaction to familiar foods has appeared;
– stomach pain often occurs;
- I suffer from heartburn after eating.
WHO IS TO BLAME: Lack of plant foods – our body is not able to synthesize this vitamin, we can only get it from outside. In fact, it is not a vitamin, but a vitamin-like substance; it helps prevent stomach and duodenal ulcers, has an analgesic and healing effect. It also stimulates the production of antihistamines and reduces the manifestations of hay fever, bronchial asthma, and food allergies.
WHAT TO DO: Eat sweet peppers, onions, bananas. Don't forget about fresh tomatoes, parsley, celery, turnips and white cabbage.
VITAMIN U CHAMPIONS: asparagus, beets and celery.
DAILY REQUIREMENT: 100–300 mg.

Zinc is a trace element and antioxidant that helps in many reactions, in particular, by promoting the normal functioning of the immune system. High zinc content strengthens the immune system, restores cells, and has a positive effect on the digestive system. Without sufficient zinc, sexual function deteriorates.
When listing all the functions of zinc in the body, it is easy to lose count. After all, this microelement works on almost all fronts. Here are just its main functions:
Strengthening the immune system, protection against infections. Zinc is a natural immunomodulator. When there is a lack of zinc in the blood, the level of cortisol, a hormone that suppresses the immune system and destroys muscle fibers, rises. If you drink zinc in combination with vitamin C in the cold season, you can protect yourself from the flu and acute respiratory viral infections.
Participation in the formation of bone tissue . Along with calcium, this microelement is necessary for the formation and strengthening of teeth and bones in both children and adults.
Improving brain function. The cerebral cortex, not receiving enough zinc, begins to malfunction, which can be expressed in the appearance of hallucinations, loss of taste, impaired sense of smell, and even the occurrence of epileptic seizures. There is a connection between the zinc content in the body and human mental abilities. Studies have shown that successful students have more zinc in their hair than those lagging behind. Zinc is especially important for the parts of the brain responsible for concentration and memory.
Stimulation of the reproductive system. Men need this mineral for sperm production and testosterone synthesis, as well as for the prevention of prostate adenoma, and women need it for good ovarian function and healthy hormonal balance.
Strengthening vision. Participating in biochemical reactions of the retina, zinc helps to absorb vitamin A, which is important for normal eye function. And if there is a deficiency, cataracts and blepharitis can develop.
Zinc is important for an attractive appearance. First of all, for the condition of the skin, hair and nails. This mineral is actively involved in the process of skin cell renewal and the formation of collagen fibers. This means that it makes the skin younger and more elastic. In addition, it prevents early wrinkles and protects against acne. It is not without reason that zinc is often included in the composition of medical cosmetics for problem skin.
