Ever wake up clenching your jaw or find your brain feeling like it's in a fog? According to Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist from Silicon Valley, your body might be waving red flags about nutrient deficiencies - and you might be missing them entirely. In a viral Instagram video, he breaks down five sneaky signs that you're running low on key vitamins and minerals.
Muscle Cramps: Constant cramps could mean you’re low on magnesium, potassium, or calcium - especially if you’re sweating a lot or dehydrated.
Teeth Grinding: Grinding at night? It’s not just stress - you could be missing magnesium or B vitamins.
Hair Fall: Excessive hair shedding might be due to iron, protein, zinc, or Omega-3 deficiency - especially common in women.
Tingling & Numbness: That weird pins-and-needles feeling? Possibly a vitamin B12 deficiency, especially if you're vegan or over 50.
Brain Fog: Can’t focus? You might need more Omega-3s like DHA - found in fatty fish or supplements - essential for mental clarity.
Dr. Sethi’s message is clear: even with a seemingly balanced diet, nutrient gaps are common. Spotting these signs early could save you from bigger health issues down the line. Time to check your diet before your body checks out!
