What Your Face Says About Your Health

#Eyes

When you are deficient in vitamins, eye problems can occur. Most often, dry eye syndrome accompanied by dizziness is caused by the lack of vitamin D. When you notice weaker night vision, you might need more vitamin A. A vitamin A deficiency also leads to inflammation of the eyes, and burning in the eyes, especially in the evening. Puffy eyes indicate the lack of iodine, the source of which is iodized salt and seafood. See all vitamins that support eye health and add them to your diet.

#Lips

Did you know that excessively pale lips indicate an iron deficiency? Frequent colds and low blood pressure can only confirm these suspicions. In this case, you should eat more red meat and limit your calcium intake (a.k.a. limit your milk intake). Also, get some of these iron-rich fruits and snack on them whenever you get the chance!

#Gums

If your gums bleed frequently, this is a signal that you are lacking vitamin C. Declining immunity, muscle and bone pain, and dental problems accompany this symptom. So, eat some yellow bell peppers, or make some lemonade to get more vitamin C!

#Face

The truest reflection of your vitamin deficiencies is shown in the skin of the face. Dry skin as well as an early appearance of small wrinkles are caused by a lack of vitamin A and vitamin E as well as Niacin. Oily skin that flakes off is a deficiency of vitamin B2, and the appearance of acne and red spots are indicative of a fatty acid deficiency. In the case of frequent allergies and dermatitis, the problems are related to a deficiency of B vitamins and vitamin H (Biotin). What’s more, in the absence of this vitamin, dark, brown spots may appear on the skin. Skin dermatitis accompanied by itching indicates a deficiency of B vitamins, especially B3 or B6, as well as iodine.

#Hair

When your body is healthy, your hair is shiny and beautiful, but when it is dry and brittle, it definitely means you have a vitamin deficiency. If your scalp itches, it is a lack of vitamin E, if dandruff appears, it means you are lacking vitamin B6 and B12, as well as unsaturated fatty acids. When your hair gets oily too quickly, you are probably lacking riboflavin. Hair loss is most often a folic acid or vitamin C deficiency.
