Do you feel weak?
This can be due to the weather - but also to a one-sided diet.
The following symptoms indicate that you are missing zinc, vitamins, or other nutrients.
Physical and psychological complaints can have many causes.
Illnesses, for example, but also genetic predisposition and stress * are possible reasons.
Our diet should not be underestimated either: if the body does not receive enough nutrients, it reacts with deficiency symptoms.
These can manifest themselves in the form of slight tiredness through to forgetfulness or hair loss.
Find out here which nutrient deficiencies can have which consequences.
Are you not losing weight despite sport and healthy exercise?

Sleep disorders to dry skin: ten deficiency symptoms and their causes
You're not
losing weight: If you don't lose weight despite dieting, it may be due to insulin resistance.
If the body reacts sensitively to insulin, this stimulates fat loss.
Magnesium is said to be important in order to positively influence insulin production.
Too little of the trace element selenium can also inhibit fat loss.
Those who eat fish, eggs and meat usually consume enough selenium.
There is also the option of taking nutritional supplements.
But be careful: Selenium must not be overdosed.
Sleep disorders
: According to Business Insider, there is no clear evidence, but some medical professionals assume that vitamin D deficiency promotes problems falling and staying asleep.
Calf and muscle cramps
: Many are familiar with the burning pain that shoots through the body during a cramp.
Now many are turning to magnesium.
Not only a lack of magnesium can be the reason for muscle cramps: a lack of other minerals such as sodium, calcium or potassium can also lead to cramps.
Dry hair and dry skin
: This could be due to a lack of biotin or omega-3 fatty acids.
You feel unbalanced and irritable:
It is often a mixture of factors that upset someone: stress at work, unhappy in the relationship and a leaked milk in your pocket and the mood is in the basement.
But diet should also have an impact: A deficiency in folic acid and omega-3 fatty acids should have a negative effect on our mood.
Torn corners of the mouth
: An iron deficiency can result in this.
Hair loss
: the horror of women: suddenly the hair falls out.
Hair loss can have many reasons, including a zinc or iron deficiency.
Brittle and wavy fingernails and toenails
: This could be due to an iron or biotin deficiency.
Forgetfulness
: Those who constantly forget things often think anxiously about budding dementia.
But there can also be far more harmless causes behind it.
For example, iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies are associated with forgetfulness.
Not only vegan and vegetarian diets without adequate supplementation promote a deficiency of the above nutrients.
Medicines such as heartburn drugs are also considered a possible cause.
Constantly tired
: slept a lot and still exhausted - an iron deficiency should now be considered.
Background: Iron is needed by the body for blood formation.
Blood transports oxygen to all areas of the body and thus supplies them with energy - including the brain.
If this is inadequately supplied, it leads to fatigue and lack of concentration.
