Bleeding gums: vitamin C is the first line of defense
Bleeding gums may indicate a deficiency
Do your gums bleed at the mere touch of your toothbrush? This doesn’t necessarily indicate poor oral hygiene. A vitamin C deficiency can weaken your connective tissues and slow down healing. Without sufficient intake, even the most minor infections can linger. A glass of homemade citrus juice in the morning or a generous portion of raw vegetables can be a simple and natural solution.
Difficulty seeing in low light: vitamin A is to blame
Does your vision become blurry as soon as the light dims? This problem could indicate a vitamin A deficiency, which can develop into severe dry eye (xerophthalmia). To preserve your visual acuity, eat orange foods (carrots, sweet potatoes), full-fat dairy products, or organic eggs.
