29. Signs of Nutritional Deficiencies

30. 1. Cracks at the Corner of the Mouth
This can be a sign of iron, zinc, and B-vitamin (niacin, riboflavin, and B12) deficiency, or that you’re not getting enough protein.
Because iron absorption is enhanced by vitamin C, be sure your diet also includes plenty of vitamin C-rich veggies like broccoli, red bell peppers, kale, and cauliflower.

31. 2. Hair Loss and a Red, Scaly Rash
This can be a sign of biotin (vitamin B7) deficiency. Your body needs biotin for metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids, but it’s most well-known for its role in strengthening your hair and nails. Egg yolks from organic, free-range eggs are one of the best sources of biotin.

32. 3. Red or White Acne-Like Bumps
This can be a sign of deficiency in essential fatty acids like omega-3s, as well as vitamin A or vitamin D deficiency. Increase your intake of omega-3 fats.
You can find vitamin A in foods like leafy green vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red bell peppers, while vitamin D is best obtained through safe sun exposure or use of a high-quality tanning bed.

33. 4. Tingling, Prickling, and Numbness in Your Hands and Feet
This can also be a sign of B-vitamin deficiency (particularly folate, B6, and B12). The symptom is related to the deficiency’s effect on the peripheral nerves and may be combined with anxiety, depression, anemia, fatigue, and hormone imbalances.
Some good sources of B vitamins include spinach, asparagus, beets, organic free-range eggs and poultry, and grass-fed beef.

34. 5. Muscle Cramps (Toes, Calves, Backs of Legs, and Arches of Feet)
Muscle cramps may be a sign of deficiencies in magnesium, calcium, and potassium, especially if it happens frequently. Fix this by eating more almonds, walnuts, dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, and dandelion), broccoli, and apples.

36. Scurvy

37. Vitamin C Complex

38. Vitamin C Deficiencies
Vitamin C is in fresh citrus, peppers, papaya, kiwi, oranges, lemons, cruciferous, vegetables and organ meats.
Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production.
Vitamin C deficiency can cause FATIGUE, bleeding gums, shortness of breath, bone pain, broken blood vessels – spider veins, rosacea (microhemorrhage).
Vitamin C is destroyed by the process of pasteurization.
Your adrenals store vitamin C.
Steroids can trigger rosacea, also bowel disturbances because you

39. Low Vitamin C
Since the adrenals store vitamin C, stress depletes vitamin C reserve (esp. the inside of the adrenal). Vitamin Requirements spike during stress as the need for adrenal function increases.

40. Spider veins
Telangiectasia (this can come from high cortisol).

41. Spider veins (Conventional)
aging
heredity (family history of the condition)
a history of blood clots
taking oral birth control pills
hormonal changes during puberty or menopause, or hormone replacement therapy
pregnancy
standing or sitting for long periods of time
wearing a girdle or clothing that is too tight
obesity
constipation
sun exposure (in light-skinned people)

42. Spider veins (Nutritional)
Vitamin C
tomatoes, oranges and lemons 
Vitamin E
almonds, spinach, kiwi
Vitamin B
brown rice, wheat and barley
Meat products such as liver, turkey, and tuna include concentrated levels of vitamin B
Vitamin K
Leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli

Bariatric surgical procedures
Hereditary causes
Chemical gases – chlorofluorocarbon, Nitrous oxide
Intrinsic factor deficiency (gastric intrinsic factor(GIF), is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach)

46. Vitamin B12 Foods

Milk
Cheese
Dahi

47. Vitamin D (Necessary for)
