Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

Vitamin B is good for blood, brain and body, the big 3 B’s for all of us [[targeltocation]] humans!

Not so long ago, vitamins sometimes were derided as to their importance. Vitamins are really needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic gets the importance of vitamins to the health of our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic offers many Fernandina Beach chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health concerns you bring to your Fernandina Beach chiropractic appointment.

Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it is now recognized that a lack of them may be linked to not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence memory, dementia and cognitive function. Deficiencies of B1, B3, B6, B9 and B12 – all vital for neuronal function – are associated with depression. Depression is complex, and vitamin B contributes to its complexity. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Fernandina Beach diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes are often prescribed metformin. This drug may lower serum cyanocobalamin (B12) levels. Patient age, dosage, years of taking it, and time of the diabetes diagnosis likely influence the vitamin B12 level, too. (2) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the initial stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are very important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) messes with dendritic cell function which impacts T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells activate the immune responses in the body.) (3) B vitamins’ metabolism is significant, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are enthusiastic about the potential vitamins like B offer to ward off serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. Vitamin B12 is crucial to cell function. It’s an essential micronutrient as we can’t produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Fernandina Beach who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! B12 deficiency results in blood and neurological issues. We may be at risk for coronary artery disease if our B12 levels are low.|Low B12 levels may also mean we have a higher risk of coronary artery disease. We can only get vitamin B12 by eating proteins from animals. Eaten vitamin B12 experiences an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let us together, Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and you, make a plan to improve them.

Why? A low level of B12 brings on a range of neurological issues. These issues may be acute, subacute or chronic. Such neurological complications stemming from a vitamin B12 deficiency are subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, a useless hand syndrome (related to the cervical spinal cord), and acute posterolateral cord syndrome which results in gait ataxia. None of these issues is appealing. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Amelia Chiropractic Clinic to direct you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency uncovered.
