Vitamin A
A Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most common types of deficiencies, which is no small matter considering that this deficiency can lead to blindness, as well as an increased risk of fatal infections. On a lighter note, being low on this vitamin can also simply lead to annoying issues like acne and dry skin, so there are many reasons to make sure you get enough of it. Vitamin A is found in some foods you probably eat plenty of, like fortified cereals, orange and yellow vegetables and fruit like squash and carrots, and skim milk. The recommended daily amount for healthy adults is 900 micrograms.
