Is the body getting enough vitamins? This is not something you can know overnight. By the time you realize it, it may have already affected your health. Young office workers are another group at risk. Check quickly with these popular behaviors that increase the risk of health crises due to vitamin deficiency.
Party lovers who go everywhere with alcoholic drinks
Drinkers might not like this! We all know that parties are a way to relax and strengthen relationships at the same time. Occasionally, it’s understandable, but too often is harmful and can damage your body without you realizing it. As we know, alcoholic drinks harm the body by irritating the stomach and making the liver work harder unnecessarily. It might even cause hangovers that last all day. Most importantly, alcohol reduces the intestine’s ability to absorb vitamins properly. This is why regular alcohol consumption increases the risk of vitamin deficiency in the body.
Vegans say no! To all kinds of meat
Because vitamins are not only found in fruits and vegetables, completely avoiding meat may cause your body to lack some important vitamins like vitamin B12, which is found only in meat, eggs, chicken, dairy products, and other animal-derived foods. Therefore, if you really want to avoid meat, you should consume eggs, milk, or dairy products to prevent vitamin deficiency. If that’s not possible, you might have to rely on vitamin supplements instead.
Addicted to stress, frowning every day from morning till night
While you are reading this article, try picking up a mirror and checking if you are stressed. How does your face and eyes look right now? Are your eyebrows in a relaxed position? Because as soon as we get stressed, the first thing our body feels is stress itself. Stress triggers physical and mental changes. The body produces various substances in response to stress, unnecessarily using up vitamins, which may lead to vitamin deficiency and cause abnormal body functions. Additionally, stress can cause gastrointestinal diseases, and some vitamins require stomach acid for absorption. Dysfunction in the digestive system also reduces the body’s ability to absorb vitamins.
Sunlight? Bye! Prefer to stay comfortably in the air-conditioned room
Although the Thai sun is extremely hot, did you know that Thai people suffer from osteoporosis due to vitamin D deficiency? Actually, vitamin D is very special because our body can produce it by exposure to sunlight. But because of the intense heat, people tend to avoid the sun and use protective gear to prevent skin darkening, melasma, and freckles. If you don’t want to be vitamin D deficient, young office workers should step out of the air-conditioned room or wake up a bit earlier because the best sunlight for vitamin D absorption is the morning sun before 9 a.m.
Taking care of health can wait, it’s not too late
Work is hard, and by the time you get home, you’re exhausted. Where do you find time to exercise? The company provides annual health check-ups, so why go for extra checks? Meals are kept simple, fast food is even better because it’s convenient! We are young and strong, who gets sick? If you agree with these things, you are putting your body at risk. Often, by the time the body shows symptoms of vitamin deficiency, it has been lacking for a long time, causing abnormalities. Taking care of health here doesn’t mean taking excessive vitamin supplements because too much vitamin can harm the body. Just adjust your eating habits to include all five food groups, take better care of yourself, find time to exercise outdoors in the morning, or for precise care, there are now tests to measure vitamin and mineral levels in the body. This helps identify exactly what you lack and what to supplement, allowing targeted care and reducing the risk of serious diseases in the future.
