#5 Puffy Eyes
Do your eyes look extra puffy in the morning after you wake up?
Puffy eyes may indicate that you’re not getting enough sleep, but they can also be sign of low iodine levels in the body. Don’t rely only on processed table salt for your iodine – it isn’t a form that is easily used by the body.
You should consume foods like cranberries, yogurt, kelp, potatoes, strawberries, and navy beans.
#4 Extremely Pale Skin
If your skin appears to be extremely pale, then probably your body lacks vitamin B12. Animal foods are high in Vitamin B12, but you can also take vitamin B12 supplements like pastured eggs and/or raw rennet-free cheeses, cruelty-free goat’s cheese should be consumed.
#3 Dry Hair
Lately, has your hair felt extra dry and brittle? Or, have you noticed a large amount of dandruff on your scalp? These could be signs that you’re lacking Biotin or Vitamin B7. A biotin deficiency can also be the result of using antibiotics.
Eat this: Nuts, especially walnuts, sunflower seeds, green peas, legumes, and mushrooms – and even avocados!

#2 Pale Lips
Pale lips are a very common symptom of iron deficiency, in the U.S., as reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Numerous people suffer from anaemia and fatigue due to the lack of iron content in their body.
You should consume Spirulina, spinach, raisins, lentils, dark chocolate (Cacao!), dark green leafy vegetables.
#1 Bleeding Gums
If you have witnessed bleeding gums lately, it could be due to lack of Vitamin C in your body. Vitamin C defends us off the common cold, but Vitamin C deficiency will lead to more than sniffles: bleeding gums, swollen joints, and nosebleeds. Keep in mind that we don’t make or store vitamin C, so you have to get plenty of it in your diet every day!
Eat this: Guava, red peppers, kiwifruit, broccoli, strawberries, and rose hips.
