SIGNS THAT YOU NEED MORE VITAMINS

Every day you need to get a certain amount of nutrients and also different ones to feel a bit energetic and function well. I'm not going to give you a boring story about what that exactly means and how many grams and so on, but I will tell you what you can eat if you're physically experiencing some discomfort. A blister in your mouth for example: then you need to dive into a fruit basket looking for an orange or grapefruit. But you probably already knew that. And what if your skin feels a bit drier than normal? I'll tell you that in a moment. Of course, you can always take extra vitamins, but I advocate getting them honestly from food.

So, dry skin?

Then it's wise to take a bit more vitamin A. Carrots contain beta-carotene which is converted by the body into vitamin A. You didn't know that, did you? Neither did I.

The same goes for broccoli and watermelon. Furthermore, vitamin A is found in eggs and butter. So, both on a slice of bread.

A bit of trouble with constipation?

That can happen. Everyone experiences it sometimes. Liesbeth and I go for flaxseed like a rocket. Just add a scoop to your yogurt in the morning. Additionally, it's important to eat a lot of fiber. That helps get things moving down there. Bfor example oats and beans.

Do you often feel cold, are you shivery, or do you sometimes even feel a bit dizzy?

Then it might be that you're lacking some iron. You can also have this checked by your doctor who will take some blood from you. Spinach, nuts (preferably unroasted or unsalted) and seeds. If you're really lacking a lot of iron, I recommend you also buy iron pills.

Are you getting thinning hair or does it even fall out sometimes?

Then you need to focus on proteins or proteins. They are abundant in meat. Not much of a meat eater? Then you can go for eggs (duh) and it's mainly about the white part. Legumes or quinoa are also a good idea. They are packed with proteins.

Feeling a bit down?

“A winter slump doesn't exist, you just need to take vitamin D. It's also found in the sun and in summer people are just happier.” Thus said health coach Tessa. Look, it can of course be a bit between the ears, but I take a few drops every morning and I feel prrrrima. So I always call them happiness drops.
