Nutritional Deficiency

Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not receive enough essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, or carbohydrates needed for optimal health. This can happen due to inadequate diet, poor absorption, or increased nutrient needs. Common deficiencies include vitamin D, iron, and calcium, each leading to specific health issues like weakened bones, fatigue, or anemia. Symptoms can vary widely and may include fatigue, weakness, skin problems, or mood changes. Addressing deficiencies typically involves dietary changes, supplements, and, in some cases, medical intervention to ensure the body functions correctly and maintains overall health.
