What would be absolutely necessary as far as vitamins / nutrients if there was a foot shortage? I have heard you can get scurvy from not having vitamin C or something like that before, what other things can happen?
Here are a list of the vitamins and the defiencies associated with them The words in bold are the disease or problem caused by the defiency of the vitamin. Vitamin A Night-blindness and Keratomalacia Vitamin B1 Thiamine Beriberi Vitamin B2 Riboflavin Ariboflavinosis Vitamin B3 Niacin, niacinamide Liver damage Vitamin B5 Pantothenic acid Paresthesia Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxal Anaemia Biotin Dermatitis, enteritis Folic acid folinic acid Deficiency during pregnancy is associated with birth defects, such as neural tube defects Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, methylcobalamin Megaloblastic anaemia Vitamin C Ascorbic acid Scurvy Vitamin D Ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol Rickets and Osteomalacia Vitamin E Tocopherols, tocotrienols Deficiency is very rare; mild hemolytic anemia in newborn infants. Vitamin K phylloquinone, menaquinones Bleeding diathesis
Don't forget to plan for plenty of healthy fats in your food storage. Many vitamins require fat to make them usable by the body.
Most of those vitamins are covered with eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, lean meat and sunlight.
yes that is correct, but the original post made the distinction If you don't have a blanaced diet to begin with due to lack of food you can have some of these issues.
