Question 2

Ling, a young girl from China, is taken to her pediatrician by her parents because she is extremely tired and irritable, and is showing signs of developmental delay. During the examination, the doctor notices that Ling has very brittle nails, has very thin hair, and has a distinct odor to her breath. Knowing that dietary deficiencies are common for people from Ling's village, blood tests are run. What mineral deficiency and disease is she most likely suffering from? What foods would you suggest she incorporate to improve her condition?
