Nothing can replace a nutritious and well-balanced diet. Even if you eat well, it can be difficult to get all of the nutrients you require from food alone. This can result in nutrient deficiencies.

Nutrient deficiencies are harmful to one’s health. Some are even dangerous. In fact, researchers believe that nutrient deficiencies contribute to serious health problems such as obesity.

We created this guide to help you understand which nutrient deficiencies you should avoid. Continue reading to find out what you need to know to support your health.

Understanding nutrient deficiency and its impact on your health

 

Food does not always provide all of the nutrients your body requires. Things other than your diet can play a role. Certain health conditions, for example, can influence whether you have a nutrient deficiency.

People who struggle with their weight frequently have nutrient deficiencies. Even though they consume more calories, they consume less nutrient-dense food.

Cell function and insulin signaling are impaired in the absence of these nutrients. This increases your chances of developing a variety of health problems. Type 2 diabetes and hormonal imbalances are two of these issues.

Here are some nutrient deficiencies to avoid and what happens if you have them:

  • Vitamin B12: problems with balance, nerve function, memory loss, and difficulty thinking
  • Calcium causes abnormal heart rhythms, disrupted nerve function, and poor bone health.
  • Fatigue, mood swings, muscle aches and weakness, and bone pain are all symptoms of a lack of vitamin D.
  • Iron causes fatigue, circulatory problems, brittle nails, and shortness of breath.
  • Potassium: irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, constipation
  • Folate causes fatigue, diarrhea, and birth defects in pregnant women.
  • Nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, muscle cramps/weakness, personality changes, heart problems, seizures are all symptoms of magnesium deficiency.

What role do nutritional supplements play?

Supplements are used to treat chronic medical conditions at MIB Surgery. Weight issues and thyroid issues are two of these conditions. Supplemental advantages include:

  • Increasing or decreasing nutritional nutrient gaps
  • Keeping future nutrient deficiencies at bay
  • Improved management of specific medical conditions or symptoms
  • Immune system bolstering
  • In addition to other medical treatments

Remember that supplements cannot replace a well-balanced diet. Talk to your MIB Surgery provider if you’re having trouble making dietary decisions. As part of our medical weight-loss program, our team can assist you in increasing your nutrient intake.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate supplements in the same way that it does medications. As a result, there is no guarantee that the label is correct. Before taking any supplement, consult with our team.
