Williamson 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 were not always considered that important. Vitamins are really necessary dietary components for healthy life. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Williamson chiropractic patients and their influence on our Williamson chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Apple Country Chiropractic, a full host of Williamson chiropractic care options exist to determine the source of your current concern and help resolve it.

Vitamins are important for health as it’s now known that a lack of them may be linked to not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may impact memory, dementia and cognitive function. Shortages 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) Apple Country Chiropractic pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Williamson diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes many times take metformin. This drug may reduce 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 Williamson chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins play a preventive role of cancer, particularly in the early stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are rather important. Specifically, a folate (B9) deficiency messes with dendritic cell function which influences T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells activate the immune responses in the body.) (3) Metabolism of the B vitamins is important, delivering compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are excited about the potential vitamins like B present to ward off serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a vital micronutrient as we do not produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Williamson 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. Vitamin B12 has to be obtained by eating animal proteins. Eaten vitamin B12 experiences an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Apple Country Chiropractic encourages our Williamson chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let’s together, Apple Country Chiropractic and you, set a plan to raise them.

Why? A low level of B12 brings on a range of neurological issues. Some are acute, subacute or chronic. Such neurological complications due to 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. Fortunately, B12 supplementation helped all these patients. (6) Trust Apple Country Chiropractic to lead you to the required care for any B12 deficiency revealed.
