Today, let's show you 11 signs of certain deficiencies in your body.

He's a pretty common, and I think it's a good idea to be able to understand various things

that go on in your body and what's really behind them from a nutritional standpoint.

So the first one is excessive yawning, okay? Oh, man, like that. Now, it could be your tired,

it could be your out of shape, but more likely it is an iron deficiency. If you're low on iron,

you can't make heme in your blood, and you're going to be a bit deficient in oxygen,

and you're going to want to try to get more air. So either the person's not consuming enough iron

from their diet, because maybe they're a vegan, or the stomach acid, and their stomach is not

strong enough to be able to extract this iron from the meat that they eat, but typically the best

source of iron is in red meat. Now, this symptom also relates to the next one, which is air hunger,

like you have difficulty breathing, a little different, but similar. This too is a situation where

you're trying to get more oxygen, but usually the cause is because your body, or more specifically,

your blood is too acidic, okay? Slightly too acidic. Normally, the blood should be slightly alkaline,

and so if the pH goes down just a little bit too much, you're considered having something

called acidosis. And that symptom usually comes from a B1 deficiency. So when you're deficient

in B1, the little energy factors in your cells, called the mitochondria, don't work that well,

because when you think about B1, think of it as like a spark plug to ignite the oxygen fuel

carburetor in your mitochondria, just like an engine. And so without that spark plug, we can't

burn fuel, and then things can kind of backed up, and you start developing too much lactic acid,

and that produces a lack of oxygen. And all you need to do is take B1, but also realize the

number one reason why people are deficient in B1 is that they're eating too many carbs and sugars.

So the more carbs you eat, the more B1 you're going to need to deal with those carbs. Thus,
