Quiet SOS: When the body asks for vitamins and minerals
Our body is a brilliant communicator. When it lacks resources, it does not remain silent, but triggers a complex system of biochemical signals. Current WHO research shows that 30% of the world’s population experiences “hidden hunger” – a deficiency of micronutrients for external well-being. Let's decrypt those codes together.
Alarm bells: from skin to neurons
1. Epidermis as a diagnostician
Dry skin and acne may indicate a deficiency:
Lifehack: For eczema, try to increase your intake of pumpkin seeds – they contain a record 7.5 mg of zinc per 100 g.
2. Nervous system: when neurons “flicker”
Tingling in the extremities according to the NIH is often associated with a deficiency of:
Geography of deficits: what is eaten in your region?
According to a study by the Journal of Nutrition, soil mineral content influences local problems:
Region Deficit Solutions Scandinavia Vitamin D Fatty fish 4 times a weekMediterranean
Detection technologies: from folk methods to laboratories
Carotene test: Eat 2 carrots daily. If after a week the skin does not acquire a light golden hue, a deficiency of vitamin A is possible.
Glossary
Homeostasis The ability of the body to maintain internal balance
Keratin Protein, whose synthesis requires zinc and biotin
Hemoglobin Iron-containing red blood cell protein
Emergency checklist
Remember that the body is always in dialogue. Our job is to learn to hear it.

Alarm bells: from skin to neurons
1. Epidermis as a diagnostician
Dry skin and acne may indicate a deficiency:
- Zinc (cracks in the corners of the mouth)
- Vitamin A (“goose skin” on the forearms)
- Omega-3 (peeling eyelids)
Lifehack: For eczema, try to increase your intake of pumpkin seeds – they contain a record 7.5 mg of zinc per 100 g.
2. Nervous system: when neurons “flicker”
Tingling in the extremities according to the NIH is often associated with a deficiency of:
- B12 (especially in vegats)
- Magnesium (caviar spasms at night)
- Potassium (unexplained fatigue)

Emergency checklist
- With muscle cramps - 400 mg of magnesium + banana
- Broken nails - 15 mg of silicon from oat decoction
- Bleeding gums - paste with sage + 100 mg of vitamin C
