Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body after calcium, with 85% of it found in bones and teeth. In addition, it plays a role in energy production. So, how can we obtain it to avoid the threat of deficiency? According to Russian nutritionist Lara Lavski, the major foods that contain phosphorus and serve as its primary sources are: eggs, meats, fish, grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and berries.
Phosphorus Deficiency
She indicated that a deficiency of phosphorus in the body is associated with weak bones, joint and muscle pain, tooth decay, ringing in the ears, anxiety, and concentration problems. To prevent deficiency in the body, the expert noted, according to Sputnik News, that the so-called "Western diet" has become widespread globally, which includes the aforementioned products as well as fried, salty foods, fast food, and sugary foods and beverages, thus reducing phosphorus deficiency issues.
