When there is a lack of essential minerals in our bodies, then we could get mineral deficiencies. It is known to us that minerals play an important role in us. Minerals are needed for bone health plus they play a part in the energy production, nerve function etc. For our overall health to be good, it is necessary to consume minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium etc.
There are few reasons for mineral deficiencies in us like poor dietary intake, issues due to absorption, excessive loss through sweating etc. Complications due to mineral deficiencies can be avoided by addressing early signs.
Mineral deficiencies are shown by these important signs.
Fatigue/ weakness (Iron deficiency):
It is noteworthy that iron deficiency would reduce haemoglobin production and impair oxygen transport in the blood. It could result in weakness, fatigue, poor concentration etc.
Muscle cramps (Magnesium deficiency):
For muscle function, magnesium is needed and magnesium deficiency could result in muscle cramps, spasms etc. There are also chances that we could get restless leg syndrome etc due to lack of this important mineral.
Brittle hairs and nails (Zinc or calcium deficiency):
For tissue repair and cell growth, zinc is needed and calcium would provide strength to nails, hairs etc. We could get hair thinning, brittle nails etc due to the deficiency.
Irregular heartbeat (Potassium deficiency):
Heart rhythms are regulated by potassium and its deficiency could lead to palpitations, arrhythmias etc. Certain medications or dehydration etc could lead to low potassium in us.
Frequent infections (Zinc deficiency):
For the functioning of the immune system, zinc is essential. We could get frequent cold, respiratory based infections etc due to zinc deficiency.
Tingling or numbness (Calcium or Magnesium deficiency):
We could get tingling sensation or numbness or pins and needles type pain in hands, feet etc if we have poor calcium or magnesium in us.
Swelling and water retention (Sodium deficiency):
Fluid balance in us is regulated by sodium and any deficiency could lead to swelling in hands or feet etc. In addition, the person could also have irritation, confusion etc.
Dry skin and slow wound healing (Zinc/copper deficiency):
For skin repair etc, zinc is essential and for collagen production copper is needed. If there is any deficiency of zinc or copper then we could get dry flaky skin etc. Wound healing would take more time.
Poor appetite and delayed growth (Multiple mineral deficiencies):
In the children especially, deficiency in zinc, magnesium or potassium could affect growth. In the adults, weight loss, energy reduction etc would be present.
Note:
It is possible to avoid long term effects of mineral deficiencies by early detection and by making dietary adjustments etc.

Are you aware of the fact that diabetes can affect bone health? Surprised isn`t it?
One common health issue many of us have these days is high blood sugar levels or diabetes. If not treated then it might lead to other health complications also. It is a metabolic disorder where the body would not be able to control the blood glucose levels in the target range because of insufficient production of insulin.
How can diabetes affect our bone health?
Diabetes can affect our bone health in these important ways. Take care.
Lowering bone mineral density:
It is noteworthy that when the bones have low mineral density then they are more prone to osteoporosis issues. This can lead to fractures. The ability of the body to form new bone tissue would get impaired when a person has hyperglycemia and this could lead to weaker bones in them with low mineral mass.
High risk of getting fractures:
Those with diabetes would have low bone mineral density and this would lead to fractures etc. Truth is that the bones would take long time to heal. Areas that would get affected mostly would be hips, wrists and spine etc.
Slowing down bone healing:
Normally, when a bone gets fractured then our body would start its healing process by rebuilding bone tissue with help of osteoblasts. When diabetes is present, the process would get impaired if the blood sugar levels remain high due to reduced function of osteoblasts. Point is that low blood circulation would further delay the healing process.
High risk of inflammation:
The body would get into a state of oxidative damage when a person is diabetic. The body cells of the person would get inflamed. Osteoclasts or bone cells would get activated leading to breakdown of bone tissue.
Bone health management:
By keeping the blood glucose levels in target range:
It is possible to prevent bone issues in diabetic persons by regulating the blood sugar levels. It must be noted that timely medication, wholesome diet and regular physical activity etc would be important.
By weight bearing exercise:
It is necessary to do weight bearing exercises like jogging, running, dancing, aerobics etc for joint and bone strength. These exercises would put stress on the joints and the bones would re-grow and repair themselves.
By consuming high amounts of vitamin D and calcium:
Vitamin d and calcium are needed for the bones to be strong and healthy. For calcium absorption into the bones, our body would need vitamin D. It is essential to eat calcium rich foods like dairy products, leafy green vegetables etc. It is essential to expose ourselves to the morning sunlight for atleast 15 minutes every day for the sake of vitamin D.
