Manchester Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain

February 14, 2017

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

Not so long ago, vitamins weren’t always accepted as mainstream. Vitamins are really essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Manchester chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Manchester chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries offers many Manchester chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health issues you bring to your Manchester chiropractic appointment.

Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it’s now recognized that a lack of them may affect 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 related to depression. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries carefully listens to our patients for any sign of depression.

Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Manchester 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 play a role in the vitamin B12 level, as well. (2) Your Manchester 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 quite important. Specifically, a folate (B9) deficiency 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 excited 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 vital micronutrient as humans cannot produce it. Statistics say that those of us in Manchester who are over 65 years of age must be aware of B12 deficiency; 15% of us are lacking! 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. Vitamin B12 has to be obtained by eating animal proteins. When vitamin B12 is eaten, it goes through a complicated absorption and assimilation process. (5) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries encourages our Manchester chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they are low, let’s together, Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries and you, make a plan to improve them.

Why? A vitamin B12 deficiency causes a variety 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. Not one of these issues is a welcome condition. Fortunately, B12 supplementation helped all these patients. (6) Trust Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries to guide you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency discovered.
