We all know that vitamins are very important to be taken in the diet, and that their deficiency can have very different symptoms and can even be very serious. But if some vitamins are well known, starting with vitamins C, D, and the fundamental B vitamins, others are more mysterious. Many of us are unaware of the symptoms of a deficiency in certain vitamins. And among these, there may also be visual disturbances. Visual disturbances, particularly in low light conditions, can be a sign of a lack of a certain vitamin. Let’s see which one.
If we have dry eyes and see badly in the evening, this vitamin may be missing
If our eyes are always dry and we have difficulty seeing especially in the evening or in dim light, this could be the cause: a vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is a vitamin that we must get in the diet, but deficiencies can sometimes occur. If we don’t get enough vitamin A, our eyes will need a lot more light than normal to see well, and therefore we may have impaired vision in low light conditions. If we have dry eyes and see badly in the evening, this vitamin may be missing. But let’s see what are the main sources of vitamin A to introduce into our diet.
Abundant in dairy products, orange vegetables and herbs
The precious vitamin A is particularly present in foods of animal origin, in particular milk, cheese and butter. But also vegetables obviously do not have them. To introduce vitamin A into the diet through plant foods, let’s turn in particular to orange foods, such as carrots, apricots, melon, etc. But also green leafy vegetables such as spinach and chicory. Also good sources of vitamin A are herbs such as basil and parsley. In short, a varied and balanced diet, rich in vegetables will satisfy all our needs, including the fundamental vitamin A.
Another common deficiency is that of iron. Here’s how to prepare a great fresh salad to fill up on iron in the summer and avoid pressure drops.
