Ashburn Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

Vitamin B promotes healthy 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 essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn gets the importance of vitamins to the health of our Ashburn chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Ashburn chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers many Ashburn chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health concerns you bring to your Ashburn chiropractic appointment.

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. Deficiencies 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.

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, too. (2) Your Ashburn chiropractor understands diabetes well.

Vitamins promote cancer prevention, particularly in the early stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are very important. Specifically, a folate (B9) deficiency 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, providing compounds for DNA synthesis and repair processes. Researchers are enthusiastic about the potential vitamins like B offer for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)

Vitamin B12 itself is also really important. Vitamin B12 is crucial to cell function. It’s a necessary micronutrient as we do not produce it. 15% of us Ashburn 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 have a higher risk of 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages our Ashburn chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they’re low, let’s together, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn and you, make a plan to improve them.

Why? A vitamin B12 deficiency causes a variety 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. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn to guide you to the required care for any B12 deficiency discovered.
