Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency

Lack of nutrients needed by the human body will cause various diseases. Vitamins are indispensable organic substances for our body and play an important role in our growth, development, metabolism, etc. There are many types of vitamins, such as vitamins ABCDE, etc. Although the content is small, they are indispensable and exist in the food we eat daily. So, what are the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency?

Vitamin E is essential for the human body. If the human body has long-term nutritional imbalance or is picky about food, it will cause vitamin deficiency. Therefore, we must pay attention to it in daily life, especially children should not be picky about food. They can eat more eggs, fish, animal liver, etc. to supplement it.

Symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency:

1. Lack of vitamin E can lead to anemia, prostate hypertrophy, liver and kidney damage, premature aging, and even muscle weakness.

2. If there is a lack of vitamin E, the main fatty acids will be destroyed in large quantities and the cells will be damaged quickly.

3. If the fetus lacks vitamin E, it is the main cause of congenital anemia, which will result in the fetus being unable to quickly replenish destroyed red blood cells.

4. If pregnant women do not take vitamin E, the muscles of the children they give birth to will be very weak, it will be difficult for them to hold their heads straight, and they will be slower than normal children in sitting, crawling, standing and walking.

Because vitamin E is widely present in food and is stored in every organ and tissue of the human body, and is stored in the human body for a long time and is not easily excreted, vitamin E deficiency in humans rarely occurs. Newborns, especially premature babies, are prone to vitamin E deficiency and hemolytic anemia due to the low efficiency of placental transport of vitamin E. In addition, patients who consume too much polyunsaturated fatty acids and have fat malabsorption may also suffer from vitamin E deficiency.

Although trace elements account for a small part of the nutrients needed by the human body, their importance to the human body is not that insignificant, and a lack of any of them will cause discomfort to the body. The above content introduces the symptoms of vitamin E deficiency in great detail. I hope it will attract our attention. We should achieve a balanced nutrition in our daily life, not be picky about food, and eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement the nutrients needed by the human body.
