Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Sometimes your body is unable to absorb many nutrients even if you are consuming them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
Iron deficiency: It is a condition in which the body does not have enough iron stores. Low iron levels lead to few healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells are necessary for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues. Insufficiency of iron can cause anaemia. It makes you feel tired very quickly due to a lack of oxygen supply in the body.
