The human body is a complex mechanism in which a multitude of processes occur at the same time independently of each other. When something in your body is not right, you will certainly feel it.
However, not everyone pays enough attention to these signals, or only does so when it’s already too late. To prevent more serious health problems, you should recognize the symptoms of illness in time.
Here are 10 important signs that you must not ignore.
1. Dry skin
Dry skin is a sign of vitamin E deficiency and should be treated as soon as possible.
Eat more almonds, seeds, cabbage, vegetable oils, spinach, fish and eggs to increase your level of this vitamin.
2. Brittle hair and nails
This health problem is mostly caused by insufficient levels of calcium and vitamin D in the body .
Eat lots of vegetables such as potatoes and broccoli, drink raw cow’s milk, kefir and yogurts, and eat plenty of sprouted wheat and grains.
3. Craving for sweets
You crave sweets when your nervous system is exhausted and you need an energy snack.
That doesn’t mean you should immediately grab chocolate – instead of this harmful treat eat a little honey or some dark chocolate.
4. Craving for sour food
If you suddenly crave sour food, you will probably have problems with your liver or gallbladder.
To solve this problem, consume more lemons and blueberries.
5. Craving for seafood
Craving for seafood is the result of an iodine deficiency and this problem can be solved by starting to consume green seaweed, dark blue beans, tuna and cod.
6. Bleeding gums
Bleeding gums are often a sign of vitamin C deficiency, so make sure to eat enough cabbage, broccoli, kiwi, rowanberries, tomatoes, peas and papaya every day.
7. Craving for salty food
If you crave salty foods, it is a sign of inflammation or infection in the genital area or urinary tract.
8. Irritability, cramps in the lower limbs, poor sleep quality
These problems are caused by a deficiency of potassium and magnesium in the body.
If you want to increase the levels of both minerals, consume more cabbage, nuts, spinach, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and almonds.
9. Dry skin on the elbows
If you find that you have dry skin on your elbows, it means you have a deficiency of vitamins A and C.
Eat more pumpkin, oranges and apricots to solve this problem.
10. Craving for raw food
If you crave raw foods, you can soothe your stomach with raw fruits and vegetables.
