Unless you eat a perfectly balanced diet and follow it religiously, chances are you might be deficient in some form of vitamin or mineral. Here, functional health doctor Mark Hyman shares some of the common vitamin deficiencies to be aware of now, and the foods you should eat to help ensure you stay as robust as possible.
Subsequently, supplementing is key – the NHS recommends taking 600IU a day, but most experts recommend much more than this. Dr Hyman advises taking 5,000IU per day. Vitamin B12 Those who don’t eat meat are prone to vitamin B12 deficiency. B12 is important for nerve tissue health, brain function and red blood cell production. “It also supports DNA synthesis and helps prevent anaemia,” explains Dr Hyman.
