Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Serdal Baysal said that sudden changes in the body such as visual impairment, anemia, stress, insomnia, insomnia, skin problems and nervous diseases and diseases that cannot be understood may be caused by vitamin deficiencies.
Medicana Bursa Hospital Internal Diseases Specialist Dr. Serdal Baysal stated that vitamin and mineral deficiencies are generally not observed in people with a healthy diet, while those with an unhealthy diet may have various complaints with the deficiencies of substances necessary for metabolism. Stating that vitamins and minerals cannot be made by the body itself and are taken from outside in the form of food or different preparations, Dr. Serdal Baysal said, “If vitamin A deficiency occurs in the body, dry skin, high blood pressure, hair and nail breakage, visual impairment, weakness and lack of resistance to infections may occur. In vitamin B1 deficiency, circulatory system, nervous system, digestive disorders and fatigue may occur. Vitamin B6 deficiency can lead to nervous system and fatigue, as well as kidney stone formation and anemia. In vitamin B12 deficiency, permanent nervous system disorders such as alzheimer's disease may occur.”
Stating that magnesium deficiency is not a common health problem, Baysal said, “Diabetes, chronic alcoholism, smoking, cancer, gastrointestinal system diseases, kidney diseases and the use of certain medications cause magnesium deficiency. In order to meet the need for magnesium, foods such as dark green vegetables, whole grain bread, hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, sesame, banana, mineral water, soybeans and nuts should be consumed. Iron mineral deficiency is one of the most common problems encountered in internal medicine outpatient clinics. Iron deficiency anemia is also known as anemia among the people. Iron deficiency anemia can be the first symptom of many important diseases, especially gastrointestinal system cancers. Red meat, legumes, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, green leafy vegetables and fruits should be consumed. Coffee, tea, milk, pulp foods cause iron deficiency because they disrupt iron absorption,” he said.
