Subtle Body Signals Could Reveal Vitamin Deficiencies,Harvard Doctor Warns
New york,NY – Seemingly minor physical changes – from popping joints to easy bruising – may be early warning signs of vitamin deficiencies,according to Dr. Sethi,a Harvard-trained gastroenterologist and hepatologist. In a recent video, Dr. Sethi detailed several frequently enough-overlooked indicators that could signal nutritional gaps, translating complex medical knowledge into accessible advice for his thousands of followers.
Dr. Sethi, who received training at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford, explained that clicking joints or unexpected hip pops can be a “silent hint” of low vitamin D or calcium. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining bone and joint health,and symptoms can emerge before any serious issues develop.
He also noted that premature graying may not always be genetic. Low levels of vitamin B12 or copper are frequently linked to early loss of hair pigmentation.
Moreover, unexplained bruising could indicate a deficiency in vitamin C or vitamin K, both vital for blood vessel strength and healing. Dr. Sethi emphasizes the importance of recognizing these subtle cues and addressing potential deficiencies through diet or supplementation, as appropriate.
As a board certified gastroenterologist and hepatologist, Dr. Sethi regularly shares simplified breakdowns of gut health and nutrition on his digital platforms, bringing clinical experience from his work in advanced interventional endoscopy to a wider audience.
