Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Welcome to another HealthNews video news release brought to you by HealthNews.
In today’s news, we look at a very important vitamin, Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 deficiency in North America is experienced by 6% of people under 60 years of age and 20% over 60.
Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency include:
1. Forgetfulness or decline in mental ability
2. Daytime sleepiness or chronic fatigue
3. Irritability, depression, or anxiety
4. Headaches
5. Dizziness
6. Numbness or tingling
Vitamin B12 is found in meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and eggs.
Although plants do not contain vitamin B12, some breakfast cereals and other foods made from plants are fortified with vitamin B12.
Some causes of vitamin B12 deficiency include:
1. Aging
2. A vegetarian diet
3. Some medications
4. Intestinal disease (celiac disease, Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis)
5. Pregnancy.
Lack of vitamin B12 is serious since it can cause permanent nerve damage.
Many people with B12 deficiency can be treated by eating more animal products, and most can be treated by taking B12 supplements or B12 injections.
You can improve your overall health by eating a nutritious diet right for your Metabolic Type, regular exercise, quality sleep, and a positive attitude.
