Undisputably, almost every illness can be cured these days due to the fact that the modern medicine is greatly developed. Pneumonia is not seen as an incurable disease as there is a course of antibiotics available on the market that can treat this serious illness. Even if you get pneumonia you are not at the mercy of fate as it was the case almost the century ago. In addition, people who have to struggle with cancer which is in its most severe form can overcome it successfully on condition that they have it detected in their body at the relatively early stage of its development. The situation is far different when a patient reports to the doctor at the final phase of an illness. In fact, his chances of overcoming cancer are rather slim which stems from the fact that at such a phase a person's whole body may be irreversibly affected by malign cancer. Even treating someone with high doses of chemotherapy may prove to be ineffective. The truth is that if this person had reported to the doctor some time earlier, his or her chances of full recuperation would not have been impaired. The same way of treatment should be applied with reference to vitamin deficiencies. If a vitamin deficiency is discovered at the right time, it has no chance of wreak havocking one's body to a great extent; therefore, one ought to do a medical check-up on the regular basis so as to keep healthy.
Certainly, magnesium and iron deficiencies are considered to be the most common deficiencies these days. Also, the number of people afflicted by vitamin D deficiency is on the rise nowadays. More and more people do not have an adequate supply of vitamin D as a result of having a diet that is devoid of dietary products and animal foods. In fact, having a proper diet is of the utmost importance as it can protect us from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Even the best vitamin supplements cannot make up for a poor diet as nutritional substances are best absorbed from food. Certainly, we can include vitamin supplements in our diet, but not base our entire diet on them.
What is interesting about vitamin D deficiency is that it is almost devoid of any symptoms. Low vitamin D symptoms are so mild at the outset that can be left undetected for a while. One of the most common low vitamin D symptoms can be observed in sleeplessness, apathy, tiredness, loss of appetite and loss of weight. However, the illness may become a real nuisance after some time. Mild symptoms are replaced by stronger ones. Low vitamin D symptoms at that stage are unbearable as muscle pains and cramps occur persistently.
Without a doubt suffering from a vitamin deficiency is a prelude to developing a more serious illness that may be difficult to cure. If a vitamin deficiency is not treated, it may wreak havoc one' body irreversibly. In the most severe case one suffering from vitamin D deficiency may be more liable to bone fractures.
