Why are we falling sick even after eating homemade food? Nutritionist answered this tricky question:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Vitamins and minerals are needed to keep the body healthy. Their deficiency increases the risk of many diseases in the body. But in today's time, people have made ultra-processed food a part of their diet. Even though you get to eat delicious food in less time, but it is harmful for health.

Although there are still some people who eat homemade dal, vegetables and roti, they may still lack nutrition. This is the reason why many people often feel tired and sick. But recently nutritionist Rashi Chaudhary has shared a post on her Instagram account.

He says that even though our grandmothers did not need supplements, they have become very important in today's times. Due to our lifestyle, quality of food and stress, the body is not able to get all the necessary vitamins and minerals from food alone. Therefore, some supplements like Vitamin D, B12 and Omega-3 can help in improving our health. He has also explained its benefits.

Benefits of Vitamin D

Nowadays people spend more time in homes and offices, so they get less sunlight. Due to this, vitamin D deficiency is common. Its deficiency can weaken bones and you may fall ill frequently. Vitamin D strengthens bones, strengthens immunity and also removes fatigue. You can take vitamin D tablets or capsules. Along with this, it is also very important to sit in the sun for 10 minutes every day.

Why is Vitamin B12 important?

Many people in India do not eat non-veg . Vegetarian food contains very little vitamin B12. Its deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness and poor memory. Vitamin B12 gives strength to the body. It helps in blood formation and also strengthens the brain and nervous system. Taking B12 supplements or fortified food restores energy and strengthens the nervous system. For the elderly or those who have absorption problems, the doctor may prescribe injections or sublingual tablets (which dissolve under the tongue).

Benefits of Omega-3

Our diet often lacks things like fish, flaxseed or walnuts , which leads to a deficiency of omega-3 in the body. But let us tell you that omega 3 keeps our heart healthy. It also makes the brain sharp. It also makes the skin and hair healthy. Supplements made from flaxseed or walnuts are better for vegetarians.
