Having a balanced diet is of utmost importance as it is one of the most effective ways to feed the body with essential vitamins and minerals. Your diet can tell a lot about your overall health. It's very important to watch out for some signs that your body is trying to give. Here are 5 ways in which your body is trying to tell that your diet is all wrong.1. Thinning HairThinning of hair is usually to do with less intake of iron. Iron plays an important role in the body as it produces red blood cells which then carries oxygen in the blood. However, lack of iron may lead to thinning of hair. Adding green leafy vegetables and pulses to your diet could possibly help you get rid of this problem.2. Bad BreathBad breath usually occurs through a metabolic process known as ketosis. When our body doesn't have sufficient glucose for energy, it burns stored fats which results in building up of acids known as ketones. People who eat a low-carb diet get ketones on their breath.
 3. ConstipationNot drinking enough water may lead to constipation. Both fiber and water are important for a healthy bowel movement. Hence, it is always advisable to add wholegrains, nuts and fiber-rich foods in the diet.4.

White patches on skin could possibly be due to the deficiency of calcium in the body.So if you're facing any of these problems, then it's time to tweak your diet a bit by adding healthy and nutrient-dense foods to your diet.Disclaimer:The opinions expressed within this article are the personal opinions of the author.
