1. Beriberi:
The symptoms of this disease are pain, brain damage, weight loss, body weakness, irregular heart rate and heart failure. It was endemic in Asia for a long time. Beriberi is caused by lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine) which can be obtained from the husks of cereal grains.
2. Pellagra:
The symptoms of this disease are dermatitis, dementia, and diarrhea. It might also lead to death. Lack of vitamin B3 (niacin) can cause pellagra. A diet rich in vitamin B3 can easily treat it.
3. Scurvy:
Scurvy can lead to skin spots, loss of teeth, fever, bleeding gums, lethargy and might also lead to death. This is caused by deficiency of vitamin C.
4. Rickets:
Rickets makes one’s muscles and bones soft. This is mainly observed in children and infants. Rickets is caused due to lack of vitamin D. Vitamin D is needed for calcium to get absorbed into the bones to strengthen them.
5. Night Blindness:
This disease causes the patient to either lose complete sight or a blurry vision at night. Deficiency of vitamin A causes night blindness. Including carrots in your diet can help to get rid of this disease.
