If you have recurring minor skin problems, brittle nails, and excessive hair loss, this may also indicate a biotin deficiency. Biotin is a vitamin that helps maintain a healthy body temperature, prevent hair loss, keep skin healthy, and strengthen nails.
To address this deficiency, it is recommended to eat foods rich in biotin, such as bananas, avocados, almonds, tomatoes, carrots, eggs, salmon, oatmeal, etc.
However, several factors can cause hair loss:
A serious illness or surgery
Stress
A thyroid disorder
Some women notice hair loss during the three months following the birth of their baby
Taking certain medications or specific treatments (chemotherapy, medications for depression, hypertension, etc.)
A fungal infection
Certain hairstyles you wear frequently can promote hair loss, such as ponytails or long braids; opt for wearing your hair down occasionally.
Genetics
Excessive use of hair care products
Numbness in the hands, feet, and other parts of the body
Numbness is a sensation of mild paralysis that affects some or all of the limbs. When temporary, it is not dangerous. However, if it occurs repeatedly, it can indicate a deficiency in vitamins B5, B6, B12, potassium, and calcium. These vitamins contribute to the proper functioning of the nervous system, particularly the peripheral nerves, to prevent this type of sensation. In addition, it can also indicate cramps, fatigue, or muscle weakness.
It is therefore advisable to pay attention to your diet and favor the consumption of foods rich in B vitamins, such as spinach, beets, asparagus, shellfish, and sunflower seeds.
To prevent any health problems, be sure to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, without forgetting to engage in regular physical activity.
