The human body is a perfect mechanism, in which millions of processes occur simultaneously. Whenever one of its functions is impaired, the body sends us a signal about it. Yet we often do not pay proper attention to this signal and do not remove the problem in time.
Therefore it is important to be able to correctly interpret such signals and thus prevent further, even more serious health complications.
Look at some of the most important signals of the body that you must not ignore:
Poor sleep, irritability, calf cramps
These signals indicate that you likely have a deficiency of magnesium and potassium.
Foods rich in magnesium include all kinds of nuts and seeds such as flaxseed, sunflower seeds or almonds.
To increase the level of potassium in the body, it is necessary to regularly consume leafy vegetables, for example kale, spinach or Swiss chard.
You can also find both of these minerals in prunes, apricots and beets.
Craving salty food
It is a common sign of some inflammation or infection in the body.
Most often it is a problem in the reproductive organs.
Dry skin
Dry skin is a signal that your body lacks vitamin E. You should therefore increase the intake of vegetable oils such as olive, pumpkin, or possibly wheat germ oil.
A good source of vitamin E are also sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, almonds, avocado or broccoli.
Craving sweets
If you have an increased desire for sweets, you may be suffering from nervous exhaustion. You will need glucose to replenish energy.
The best forms to provide it to the body are the consumption of quality sugars such as honey or dark chocolate.
Bleeding gums
Bleeding gums mean that you lack vitamin C.
At that time it is appropriate to drink lots of herbal teas (to suppress inflammation) and to consume plenty of fruit, vegetables and especially garlic.
Craving for raw foods
It is a sign of a problem with the liver or gastritis.
Raw foods tend to soothe irritated linings of the digestive system, especially the stomach, and also reduce cramps.
Dry skin on the elbows
It is an obvious deficiency of vitamins A and C.
You should consume more fruit and vegetables, especially oranges, carrots, apricots and pumpkin.
Craving for seafood
In this case your body is probably lacking iodine.
Supplement either with marine animals (fish, shrimp and the like), or take dried seaweed kelp.
Increased desire for sour food
This symptom suggests that your body needs acids to support the function of the gallbladder and liver.
Therefore eat more foods such as cranberries or lemons.
Brittle nails and hair
Brittle nails and hair indicate that you are lacking calcium and B vitamins.
Incorporate more fermented dairy products (yogurt, kefir), legumes, potatoes, whole grain bread and wheat germ into your diet.
