Muscle Pain? Try THIS Vitamin
Everyone knows that vitamins are good for you.
What everyone might NOT know is just how BAD it is when you’re not getting enough of these critical nutrients.
In fact, a deficiency in this ONE key vitamin can really take a toll on your body, causing everything from severe muscle pain to neurological disorders.
Here’s how to make sure you’re getting enough.
If vitamins were listed by popularity, vitamins C and D would be up there at the top of the list.
But vitamin E?
Most people I talk to have no idea what this nutrient does for your body—or what foods to eat to make sure you’re getting plenty of it.
The body needs vitamin E for your immune system to battle bacteria and viruses. It helps form red blood cells. It helps keep your blood vessels wide and prevents clots.
Vitamin E deficiency is linked to numerous seemingly unrelated health problems. These include…
- Muscle pain
- Thinning of the retina, which can lead to blurred or double blindness
- Increased risk of miscarriage
- Hemolytic anemia, which is the abnormal breakdown of your red blood cells
- Nerve damage, especially in your hands and feet
- Weakened immune system
- Loss of body movement control
You’re more likely to be deficient in vitamin E if you have a condition like Crohn’s disease, gallbladder disorders, or cystic fibrosis, which prevents your body from absorbing the vitamin E it needs.
You can get vitamin E from foods like nuts and seeds, green vegetables like spinach and broccoli, and sunflower and safflower oils.
