In this video, we’ll look at some vital signs of Vitamin E deficiency. Are you feeling tired? Do you often see fallen hair when you run a hand through your head? Maybe you are not consuming enough vitamin E. We usually overlook this essential fat-soluble vitamin in our diets.
1. SKIN PROBLEMS
Your skin is the first to show signs of deterioration if you consume an unhealthy and poorly balanced diet. The skin-related issues mostly indicate an underlying severe health disorder. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that plays a crucial role in the nourishment of your skin. An adequate amount of Vitamin E delays the aging process and makes your skin look younger and healthier. The recommended intake of vitamin E ensures that you don’t suffer from chronic acne, psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis.
2. MUSCLE WEAKNESS
Vitamin E is essential for the proper functioning of your central nervous system. Muscle weakness can be anywhere in your body. You may feel pain and discomfort upon contraction or relaxation of that muscle group. The reason for this condition is the lack of vitamin E, which is a potent antioxidant. When your diet is deficient in vitamin E, it causes an increase in oxidative stress in your body. As a result, your body suffers from muscular weakness and pain – making it difficult to perform simple everyday tasks.
3. HAIR LOSS
Hair is the most beautiful part of your body and adds to your aesthetics and personality. Vitamin E helps in hair growth by oxidizing the free radicals that can cause damage to your hair. It also helps to regenerate damaged hair and weak follicles. It makes your hair look shinier and healthier. Moreover, it delays the greying of your hair. So, hair health is highly dependent on your consumption of vitamin E. If you are suffering from hair fall or damaged hair, you need to revisit your diet and ensure it contains an adequate amount of vitamin E.
4. IMMUNE SYSTEM
You already know the importance of the immune system and its role in combating infections and deadly pathogens. If you get sick more often, and your wounds heal slow, it might be due to low vitamin E levels in your body. Vitamin E helps immune cells function more effectively; it also widens the blood vessels and reduces blockage and clot formation. Daily vitamin E supplements are essential for people with a weak immune system.
5. VISION IMPAIRMENT
As people get old, one of the eye-related problems people face is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Another vision-impairing disorder associated with increasing age is the cataract. Frequent vitamin E supplements or foods rich in vitamin E can drastically lower the visually impaired conditions.
6. NUMBNESS & TINGLING
Your nervous system is prone to damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals present in your body if you lack an adequate amount of vitamin E. The damage to the peripheral nerve fibers can prevent them from transmitting the signals correctly. As a result, you may experience numbness and tingling, which indicate abnormal nerve function. This condition is known as peripheral neuropathy.
7. ATAXIA
Ataxia refers to a condition in which you lose control of your body’s movements. The loss of involuntary control may be on only one side of your body or trunk. You may experience abnormal motor control and actions and may be unable to use the body parts voluntarily. It occurs when a gene, known as TTPA, is damaged. As a result, vitamin E cannot be distributed around the body. Vitamin E protects the neurons from free radicals, and its deficiency can increase the stress on your neurons. Due to the damaged motor nerves, body coordination is highly impaired or even totally lost in extreme cases. The lack of adequate vitamin E can cause other neurological disorders and impairments in body movements.
