Bleeding gums... 5 symptoms that appear when you lack vitamins

Depression feeling=

 

Depression is often associated with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is known to act on the brain and influence mood-related hormones such as serotonin.

Most vitamin D is obtained through sunlight. However, exposing the skin to ultraviolet rays to the point of sunburn accelerates skin aging and increases the risk of skin cancer.

Therefore, it is advisable to avoid sun exposure and, especially during the summer months like now, to exercise outdoors for less than 10 minutes at a time. Additionally, consuming foods rich in vitamin D such as blue fish, egg yolks, mushrooms, nuts, and milk is also helpful.

 

Lethargy=

 

Muscle strength is not only related to iron levels in the body. A deficiency in vitamin D can cause severe fatigue even after getting enough sleep. Proper intake of vitamin D helps maintain muscle strength in both young and elderly individuals.

 

Gum bleeding=

 

If bleeding from the gums occurs too frequently and is not related to brushing or flossing issues, it is a sign of vitamin C deficiency. Severe deficiency of vitamin C can lead to bleeding, general fatigue, loss of appetite, and other symptoms of scurvy. It is important to consume enough fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C.

 

Pale skin

 

Pale complexion may be a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency. Since vitamin B12 is involved in red blood cell production, a deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, shortness of breath, and decreased physical ability. If your skin is pale, eat foods like salmon, eggs, and yogurt.

 

Dry hair=

 

If your hair and scalp are noticeably dry, you may be lacking vitamin B7. Vitamin B7 helps in the formation of nails and hair and promotes the regeneration of scalp cells. If your hair has become too dry, try eating sweet potatoes, carrots, and egg yolks.
