Don’t just stare at skin care products. Poor skin may be due to the lack of these nutrients.

Good news: Sweet potato and chestnut grilled squid is on the market, and my favorite autumn and winter season is here.

The bad news: The news is coming in winter. The skin told me first.

Since the first demon wind started to blow, the moisturizing work began to pay special attention. I applied layer after layer of cream in front of the foundation. The money for skin care products is not less spent at all, and the skin condition is still poor after using it.

A cold knowledge: some of your skin problems may not have much to do with how expensive cosmetics you use. It may be because your body lacks something.

Lack of these vitamins in the body may cause skin problems

“Vitamins” are essential ingredients for maintaining the normal metabolic function of the human body. The content in the human body is small, but the effect is huge. In general: lack of vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6, niacin (vitamin B3), biotin (vitamin H) can cause skin problems. 

For example, a lack of vitamin C is likely to cause scurvy, which may show ecchymosis and petechia on the skin. However, lack of niacin may cause ultraviolet allergy and dermatitis.

Lack of vitamin A and biotin may make the skin dry, while lack of vitamin B6 may cause seborrheic dermatitis.

So the question is, it’s clear that everyone eats together every day, so why am I missing one and the other? The truth is: picky eaters, abnormal lifestyle habits (such as alcohol abuse, etc.), gastrointestinal diseases, drugs, etc., may all be the cause of the gap in your skin. 

What kind of diet will lack these vitamins?

Let me talk about two less frequently lacking ones: “Vitamin B6” and “Biotin”. Vitamin B6 is widely found in animal and plant foods. Unless the diet is particularly unbalanced, it is basically not lacking in general; as for biotin, unless long-term alcoholism, it is basically not lacking.

In contrast, vitamin C is more prone to deficiency. I don’t like fresh vegetables, especially broccoli, bitter gourd, red garlic sprouts, green peppers, cabbage, rape moss, green pepper, and fresh fruits, especially berries (such as strawberries, kiwi), citrus (such as Oranges, tangerines, grapefruits), fresh dates, etc., are likely to cause vitamin C deficiency. 

And those who strictly control fat so that only boiled vegetables are eaten, nuts are resolutely not touched, and those who do not like to eat green leafy vegetables are prone to vitamin E deficiency. Those who do not eat animal liver, eat less dark green or orange fruits and vegetables are more likely to be deficient in vitamin A. 

In addition, niacin (or niacinamide, another way of niacin) is abundant in meat, fish liver and kidney, as well as in whole grains and nuts. It is easy to lack niacin. If it is lacking, it may cause diarrhea, dementia, etc. Niacin can also help the body maintain normal liver function.

It is also worth mentioning that if you are a vegetarian for a long time and eat corn as your staple food, you will be more likely to be deficient in niacin. This is because the niacin in corn is “combined” and cannot be absorbed and utilized by the body. Adding a little edible alkali when cooking corn can hydrolyze “bound niacin” into “free niacin” that is easily absorbed and utilized.

Therefore, for most people, the daily diet is still the most important source of these vitamins.

How to eat, these nutrients intake is sufficient? 

Take animal liver as an example, there must be many friends who are not blessed. After all, for some friends, whether to eat coriander or not is a matter of life and death. 

In particular, many friends’ diets are mainly sold outside for a long time, and their diets are partial to meat in winter. Therefore, it is of course best for everyone to achieve a balanced nutrition. If you are not used to eating, you don’t have to force yourself. It is also okay to take in some nutritional supplement products.
