Broken hair, terrible skin condition, badvision - without vitamins A and E, serious problems begin in our body. Unfortunately, in most cases, representatives of the fair sex sin on the quality of cosmetics, age changes, but almost no woman is trying to figure out what's wrong. 
Vitamin A: what is it for?
It can be found in two main forms - in the formretinol and carotene. Retinol is a vitamin that is found in animal foods. Our body can also absorb alpha, beta, and gamma-carotene. They are found in some vegetables and fruits.
- Alpha-carotene
This provitamin is contained in carrots, pumpkins,potato, kiwi, beans and melon. Please note: all of the above foods should be eaten either raw or cooked. Unfortunately, prolonged heat treatment kills all useful substances and microelements. The lack of α-carotene affects vision, skin condition, immune system. The use of products containing this element reduces the risks of many dangerous diseases, including cancer.
- Beta-carotene
It prevents the onset of cancer,cardiovascular diseases. Thanks to him you will be much easier to transfer high temperatures. Contains beta-carotene in vegetables and fruits, painted in orange, yellow colors: carrots, peaches, bell peppers, chicory. Lack of vitamin A: what is fraught with As already mentioned above, a lack of vitamin A can lead to serious illnesses. The main thing is to pay attention to the problem in time, because in most cases our body signals itself that something is wrong. So, the first symptoms:
- Rapid aging of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles;
- Problems with eyesight. For example, in the evening you can not see anything. Over time, blindness progresses;
- Constant insomnia, fatigue, exhaustion, poor health, loss of strength, apathy;
- Diseases associated with poor skin condition (acne, increased dryness);
- Diseases associated with respiratory problems;
- Deterioration of hair condition, dandruff, sensitivity of gums and teeth;
- Problems in the intimate plan (no excitement in women, loss of erection in men, etc.).
In addition, our body needs someMinerals, for example, such as zinc and iron. Without them, vitamin A will not be absorbed. Diseases, nervous breakdowns, diets, improper lifestyle, the use of low-quality products or fast foods - all this immediately affects our health. So, not everyone knows that zinc is necessary for transporting vitamin A from the liver. It also ensures the normal storage of this element in the tissues of our body. This vitamin in turn plays an important role in metabolism. Its shortage can cause a number of diseases, such as night blindness, which eventually can lead to a complete loss of vision. Avitaminosis can also weaken the immune system of the fair sex. Studies have shown that women who are deficient in vitamin A have a higher risk of developing respiratory diseases and diarrhea. As you can see, indigestion occurs not only because of missing foods. Excess of vitamin A: the more dangerous the hypervitaminosis Before you start self-medication, consult your doctor. And, when taking medication, always follow the instructions. The fact is that the excess of vitamin A is just as bad as its lack. And if you find the following signs, stop taking it and immediately contact a specialist:

- Persistent and severe headaches, nausea, upset stomach;
- Bad mood, depression.
Vitamin E: with or without it

Plus, without it, pregnant women can not normally bear a child. There are eight different forms in which vitamin E is present, including 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. Lack of vitamin E The lack of vitamins (E, A, etc.) is a serious cause for concern. So, for example, with avitaminosis, a woman simply can not conceive, and a man - fertilize. If, nevertheless, you manage to get pregnant, then the future mother will be exposed to serious risks. Cases of spontaneous abortions are not uncommon. Deficiency also affects the central nervous system, and the thyroid gland, the pituitary gland. The first signs: fatigue, apathy, emotional instability, general weakness, poor health.

By the way, sometimes a course of treatment is prescribed if a woman has the following diseases: mastopathy, retrolental fibroplasia, intraventricular bleeding. And it's not just drugs, but a special diet. The fact is that many medical disorders and diseases can be prevented if you start eating properly. In fact, the lack of vitamins E is rare. However, it can occur in women whose body can not properly metabolize fats. Usually this happens to the representatives of a beautiful sex, which is far beyond 50, with young children. Also, this disease affects people who take drugs and alcohol. Pay special attention to the fact that vitamin E deficiency is also a common problem in people who often sit on different diets. Girls who have received burns or injuries that have undergone the operation must necessarily include in their diet products rich in vitamin E to make up for its lack. Those who often suffer from stress for a long time or have cystic fibrosis and celiac disease should also increase the consumption of such dishes. But it is necessary to do this only under the strict supervision of the doctor, so that the existing diseases do not progress. Excess of vitamin E: is it harmful for our health? Our daily norm is 13-14 gr. With the aggravation of certain diseases, serious physical exertion, during pregnancy, breast-feeding, and also to elderly people, the dose is increased. Usually the excess of vitamin E does not affect our body in any way, but you should not abuse some drugs. What is Vitamin E? If a person normally eats, he is unlikely to encounter the problem of vitamin deficiency.
