Do you have the Vitamin Deficiency? What are the symptoms of vitamin deficiency and how to deal with it?

How can you understand that you have a Vitamin Deficiency? Some symptoms of vitamin deficiency that indicate a lack of any vitamins, at the spring usually acquire the multiple manifestations, since it is about the lack of a number of substances.

One, two or several of the following symptoms indicate the vitamin`s deficiencies:

• The dental gums are bleeding, when you are brushing your teeth, and then appear the small bruises by themselves.
• Reduced productivity and attention, sleep disorders and bad appetite.
• Cracks in the corners of the mouth.
• Pale, dry and irritated skin, the appearance of pimples on it.
• The improved reaction to any stimulus.
• Loss or dull of the hair.
• Frequent colds.
• The exacerbation of the chronic diseases (herpes on the lips, candidiasis, intestinal disorders and problems with vaginal flora).

A characteristic feature of the vitamin deficiencies is that the symptomatic treatment does not help here: the cream does not nourish the skin, hair masks do not work, valerian does not provide sleeping and no coffee invigorates. And this is natural, because there will help only the replenishment of vitamins and minerals.

Some tricks for useful “business”

As you know, almost all the products in the different environments lose some of their vitamin value. To avoid this, you just need to follow some simple rules:

1. Do not keep for a long vegetables and fruit at the sun and heat, store them in a cool and dark place.

2. Sauerkraut, pickles and so on you need to store in the brine.

3. Do not keep the fruits and herbs for a long time in the water, which leaches vitamins.

4. Do not store the sliced products, grind them directly before laying into the pan, or (in the case of the salad) – before serving.

5. Do not overcook the foods, reduce the cooking time to a minimum. For example, you can turn off the soup, when it`s half finished, cover the pan with a lid and wait until it “comes” at the temperature below the boiling point, the vitamins remain in 2 times more.

6. Prepare for the one day, not for preserve.

7. Defrost the meat and fish in the refrigerator, in any case, not in the water.

8. Cook the products on the steam and bake them on the grill.
