Nutrient Deficiencies: What Your Mirror Can Tell You

Your bathroom mirror can tell you a lot about your nutrient deficiencies.

When you look into the mirror what do you see? Are your lips getting creases? Or maybe cracked. Do you have a crack at the side of your mouth. Are your lips taking on that pucker look? I mean are the creases getting deeper and longer right into your upper lip so you look like you are puckering your lips?

Well, this is a sign of nutritional deficiencies. Particularly the B vitamins. Sure there is an aging aspect. But, what makes a 46 year old get asked for ID? Or what makes a young woman look like she is 10 or 15 years older than she is?

Genetics may play a role in how fast you age. But even more important is nutrition. Without the nutrients your body needs, how is it to survive on a longterm basis?

Dark circles under the eyes is another example. Like the dark circles that appear almost right down to the cheek bone.

Try increasing your sources of potassium. Just getting rid of these circles can make you look years younger.

Ok, how do you fix this for the longterm?

First, decrease the processed food in your diet. Processing causes a loss of nutrients and even replacing them with artificial replicas isn't enough.

Naturally obtained food nutrients are best. Why?

Because they are in the right proportion with the right trace elements for ease of absorption.

Getting the most out of your food starts with organic food. Production methods don't allow harsh synthetic chemicals. Which you then don't get either. And these plants are grown in nutrient rich soil that produces healthy plants. The healthier the plant, the more nutrient value it has for you.

Nutrient deficiencies can be reversed in most cases. Start with a healthy diet. Supplements can aid your body to heal itself faster. Just read the labels to be sure you are getting all you expect i.e. natural source supplements are best.
