How your body gives you information on your nutritional strengths/weaknesses

Different signs of possible lack of nutrients

It can be very revealing to recognize the signs and signals of your own body in order to identify possible nutrient deficiencies. Here are some common signs of this:

bleach lower eyelid inside and pale color under the tongue

If your lower eyelids and the underside of your tongue are pale, this can indicate an iron deficiency and/or anemia. Especially when there is a sensitivity to the cold and dizziness. With an iron profile with ferritin measurement (iron storage), your doctor can easily determine what your iron level is like.

Low body temperature

A body temperature of less than 97.8 degrees when waking up in the morning and less than 98 degrees daily indicates a slow metabolism. If there is a cellular lack of energy and are not enough nutrients to support the thyroid gland in the production of energy (conversion of T4 into T3 - active thyroid hormone in the liver), then the metabolism is slowing down because the body makes adjustments to be able to survive with less food for longer. One of these adaptation mechanisms is that your body temperature is lowered so that you can survive longer with less energy. It is similar to that if you cannot pay for your heating costs and therefore have to reduce the room temperature!

Low pulse

A low pulse can sometimes indicate a chronic cellular lack of energy due to insufficient food and/or nutrients. By slowing down the pulse, your body can survive with less energy. The ideal heart rate for a high metabolism is 75-85 strokes per minute.

lactose intolerance

If you suffer from lactose intolerance, it is likely that your metabolism will slow down and you have a low body temperature. Slowed metabolism means less efficient digestion, which indicates that the digestive juices have been reduced to save physical energy (hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes - including lactase).

nails

If your fingernails grow slowly or not at all or they are thin and brittle, this could indicate problems with nutrient absorption, low stomach acid or a nutrient -poor diet. If you have white spots on the nails, this can mean that your zinc mirror is low (and there is a low stomach acid content due to zinc).

skin

If you burn easily without sunscreen, you could lack essential fatty acids and calcium. It is also possible that you take up sufficient calcium, but you have a lack of the required accompanying fabrics for calcium recording and absorption. If you have bumps on the back of the arms, this can indicate a vitamin A deficiency.

body

If your legs cramp in peace, this can indicate low calcium values. If your legs cramp on the effort, this can be an indication of a vitamin D deficiency. If you suffer from tension headache, your fatty acid and omega-3 values ​​could be low (a headache is not a lack of aspirin).

body odor

If you have an unpleasant body odor, this can indicate a magnesium deficiency. You can find out more about the reversal of a magnesium lack of lack.

constipation

chronic constipation can indicate a low thyroid function, food allergies/intolerance, a nutrient-poor diet, low stomach acid or sluggish bile flow.

stomach

chronic inflating and digestive disorders can indicate a low stomach acid content, while in many nausea there can be a sign of low B vitamin levels or poor fat digestion that causes sluggish bile in the gallbladder.

tongue

The view of the tongue is a diagnostic method that is popular in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine and is used as one of many simple diagnostic techniques to understand health without having to carry out expensive medical tests. What about the condition of your tongue? Here are some information:

  • Normal: slight reddening/pink coloring with a thin white coating
  • swollen: spleen weakness
  • Randed edge/impressions of the teeth on the edges: weak digestion, lack of nutrients
  • cracked tongue: surplus of heat
  • purple tongue: stagnated blood
  • red tongue tip: stress
  • pale tongue: lack of blood
  • strong coating: poor detoxification

Please note that it is always better to obtain nutrients from food and not from nutritional supplements! A nutrient -rich diet is a great way to boost the metabolism again!
