  20. Insulin Resistance Symptoms

  21. A way better solution

  22. Poor Sleep Benefits of sleep • Improves Memory • Stronger immunity • Spurs creativity • Helps maintain a healthy weight • Heals/Repairs tissues • Lowers stress Sleep has a re-charging effect for energy. • Reduces Depression • Boosts fertility • Stronger • Reduce Inflammation

  23. CIRCADIAN RYTHM

  24. Causes of Insomnia Sleep Apnea- D3/K2 Stress (cortisol) Hormonal Imbalance (Hot flashes) History of high activity, but now low activity – increase the volume of exercise

  25. Stress When stress levels become excessive, they can easily cause fatigue.  Stress that's left unchecked can contribute to many health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

  26. Signs of Nutritional Deficiencies

  27. 1. Cracks at the Corner of the Mouth This can be a sign of iron, zinc, and B-vitamin (niacin, riboflavin, and B12) deficiency, or that you’re not getting enough protein. Because iron absorption is enhanced by vitamin C, be sure your diet also includes plenty of vitamin C-rich veggies like broccoli, red bell peppers, kale, and cauliflower.

  28. 2. Hair Loss and a Red, Scaly Rash This can be a sign of biotin (vitamin B7) deficiency. Your body needs biotin for metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids, but it’s most well-known for its role in strengthening your hair and nails. Egg yolks from organic, free-range eggs are one of the best sources of biotin.

  29. 3. Red or White Acne-Like Bumps This can be a sign of deficiency in essential fatty acids like omega-3s, as well as vitamin A or vitamin D deficiency. Increase your intake of omega-3 fats. You can find vitamin A in foods like leafy green vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red bell peppers, while vitamin D is best obtained through safe sun exposure or use of a high-quality tanning bed.

  30. 4. Tingling, Prickling, and Numbness in Your Hands and Feet This can also be a sign of B-vitamin deficiency (particularly folate, B6, and B12). The symptom is related to the deficiency’s effect on the peripheral nerves and may be combined with anxiety, depression, anemia, fatigue, and hormone imbalances. Some good sources of B vitamins include spinach, asparagus, beets, organic free-range eggs and poultry, and grass-fed beef.

  31. 5. Muscle Cramps (Toes, Calves, Backs of Legs, and Arches of Feet) Muscle cramps may be a sign of deficiencies in magnesium, calcium, and potassium, especially if it happens frequently. Fix this by eating more almonds, walnuts, dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, and dandelion), broccoli, and apples.

  32. Nutritional Deficiencies

  33. Scurvy

  34. Vitamin C Complex

  35. Vitamin C Deficiencies • Vitamin C is in fresh citrus, peppers, papaya, kiwi, oranges, lemons, cruciferous, vegetables and organ meats. • Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production. • Vitamin C deficiency can cause FATIGUE, bleeding gums, shortness of breath, bone pain, broken blood vessels – spider veins, rosacea (microhemorrhage). • Vitamin C is destroyed by the process of pasteurization. • Your adrenals store vitamin C.

  36. Low Vitamin C • Since the adrenals store vitamin C, stress depletes vitamin C reserve (esp. the inside of the adrenal). Vitamin Requirements spike during stress as the need for adrenal function increases.

  37. Spider veins • Telangiectasia (this can come from high cortisol).

  38. Spider veins (Conventional) • aging • heredity (family history of the condition) • a history of blood clots • taking oral birth control pills • hormonal changes during puberty or menopause, or hormone replacement therapy • pregnancy • standing or sitting for long periods of time • wearing a girdle or clothing that is too tight • obesity • constipation • sun exposure (in light-skinned people)

  39. Spider veins (Nutritional) • Vitamin C • tomatoes, oranges and lemons  • Vitamin E • almonds, spinach, kiwi • Vitamin B • brown rice, wheat and barley • Meat products such as liver, turkey, and tuna include concentrated levels of vitamin B • Vitamin K • Leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli

  40. Varicose Veins

  41. Vitamin B12 Deficiency • Whole body: anaemia, fatigue, or poor balance • Gastrointestinal: indigestion or passing excessive amounts of gas • Muscular: abnormality walking or lack of coordination • Sensory: pins and needles or reduced sensation of touch • Also common: glossitis, memory loss, mouth ulcer, pallor (pale appearance), or tingling feet

  42. Vitamin B12 Causes • Worm Infestation • Antibiotics • High Temperature • Drugs – Ranitidine, Metformin, Phynentoin • Bariatric surgical procedures • Hereditary causes • Chemical gases – chlorofluorocarbon, Nitrous oxide • Intrinsic factor deficiency (gastric intrinsic factor(GIF), is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach)

  43. Vitamin B12 Foods • Liver • Milk • Cheese • Dahi

  44. Vitamin D (Necessary for) • Enhances the immune system. • Required for the absorption of Calcium. • Needed for healthy Thyroid function. • Helps to prevent Depression and Anxiety. • Essential for Neuromuscular function.

  45. Vitamin D Deficiency • Pain areas: in the bones or muscles • Muscular: muscle weakness or muscle spasms • Also common: bone fracture or fatigue • Insomnia • Osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) • Osteomalacia (weakening of the bones) • Myopia (nearsightedness) • Cognitive impairment • Hypothyroidism

  46. Slow Thyroid • Gallbladder (bile deficiency) • Liver problems • Low vitamin D • Iodine Deficiency • High estrogen • Overactive Adrenal

  47. Symptoms of Hypothyroid • Whole body: fatigue syndrome, feeling tired, inability to exercise, lethargy, weakness, or feeling cold • Sleep: excess sleepiness, excessive daytime sleepiness, sleepiness, or snoring • Menstrual: abnormal menstruation, absence of menstruation, heavy menstruation, or irregular menstruation • Developmental: delayed puberty or slow growth • Gastrointestinal: constipation or water retention
