Nutritional deficiencies are very very common.
And there are several reasons for this
THREAD ๐
1. Nutrient Intake
๐ต The obvious reason for Nutrient deficiency is simply because your diet doesn't contain enough of it.
๐ต For instance, if you are strict Vegetarian then you are likely to be Vitamin B12 deficient as there are no good sources.

2. Antinutrients
๐ต Antinutrients are compounds that are naturally found in food that impair digestion & nutrient absorption.
๐ต Common Antinutrients include Oxalates, Phytates, lectins etc.

3. Digestion & Absorption
๐ต Another very common reason behind Nutrient deficiency is poor absorption of Nutrients.
๐ต Gut dysbiosis & Reduced digestive juice process can impair absorption of nutrients.

4. Inflammation & Oxidative Stress
๐ต When your body is Inflamed, it requires more nutrients than normal.
๐ต Infact sufficient nutrient intake can reduce Inflammation in your body.

5. Lifestyle
๐ต Poor Lifestyle has a big impact the nutrient levels in your body.
๐ต Lack of Sun exposure for instance impacts Vitamin D levels in a big way.
๐ต Other factors like Stress also impacts Nutrient levels.

6. Hormonal Imbalances
๐ต Hormonal Imbalances like Insulin resistance can reduce Nutrient uptake on a cellular level & increase nutrient requirements.

7. Medicine Usage
๐ต Use of certain meds can lead to Nutrient deficiencies.
๐ต For instance, prolonged use of common Diabetes med Metformin is found to cause B12 Deficiency in people.
๐ต Similarly Diuretics may increase risk of Magnesium, Potassium deficiencies.

8. Environmental Toxins
๐ต Environmental Toxins like Heavy metals & Pesticides can impact nutrition status of various nutrients.
๐ต This happens through several mechanisms, which are still being researched.

9. Genetics
๐ต Genetics also plays a role in Nutrient deficiencies.
๐ต The individuals need of different nutrients for optimal functioning may also depend on Genetics.
๐ต For example, those with MTHFR genetic mutation can lead to Folate deficiency.

๐ต Depending on the nature of the Deficiency & the underlying cause you need to take steps to fix it.
๐ต If it's the obvious one like Poor diet then it's simple as getting your diet sorted &/or taking supplements.
๐ต If it's a Gut issues, then that's what needs fixing etc
