Gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi went viral on TikTok after sharing five signs that indicate the body needs better nutrition.
Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist from California, became viral on TikTok after highlighting five possible reasons why people should improve their eating habits.
First, he noted that brittle nails could signify “a deficiency of protein and iron in the diet.” He added that proteins help keep nails strong and healthy, as they are made up of the protein keratin.
Sethi explained that twitching in the eyelids or limbs “indicates a magnesium deficiency,” an essential mineral for transmitting nerve impulses. He recommended consulting a doctor for possible magnesium supplementation if needed.
The lack of vitamin D was also pointed out by the gastroenterologist. Clicking or popping noises in the knee may be a sign of this vitamin deficiency, which helps the body absorb calcium from food.
The gastroenterologist indicated that a lack of vitamin B12 could lead to an increase in white hairs before old age. “It may also be a sign of copper deficiency, which is responsible for melanin production, giving color to hair,” he added.
The absence of vitamin C can affect blood clotting, making it more susceptible to bruising. “It may also indicate a deficiency of vitamin K1, which aids in blood clotting,” Sethi informed.
