Richmond Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain
Vitamin B supports 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 needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Johnson Chiropractic gets the importance of vitamins to the health of our Richmond chiropractic patients and their influence on our Richmond chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Johnson Chiropractic, a full host of Richmond chiropractic care options are available to determine the source of your current concern and return to you to your desired quality of life.
Vitamins are important for health as it’s now recognized 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. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Johnson Chiropractic carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.
Diabetic patients also get some special consideration when looking at vitamin B levels. Patients with diabetes many times take metformin. This drug may lower serum cyanocobalamin (B12) levels. Patient age, dosage, years of taking it, and time of the diabetes diagnosis likely play a role in the vitamin B12 level, also. (2) Your Richmond 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 very important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) affects dendritic cell function which impacts T helper cell differentiation. (T helper cells trigger 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 really important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a necessary micronutrient as we do not produce it. 15% of us Richmond folks who are older than 65 don’t have enough vitamin B12. If we have low levels of B12, neurological disorders and blood disorders may arise. 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 undergoes an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Johnson Chiropractic encourages our Richmond chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let’s together, Johnson Chiropractic and you, make a plan to improve them.
Why? A low level of B12 causes a variety of neurological issues. Some are 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. Not one of these issues is a welcome condition. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Johnson Chiropractic to guide you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency discovered.
