La Grande Chiropractic Discussion of Vitamin B for Brain
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 essential dietary components for healthy life. (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our La Grande chiropractic patients and their influence on our La Grande chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers many La Grande chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health issues you bring to your La Grande chiropractic appointment.
Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it’s now known that a lack of them may affect not just bodily issues but also psychiatric disorders. A vitamin B deficiency may influence 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.
Another subset of patient to check B levels in are La Grande diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes are often prescribed metformin. This drug may reduce 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 La Grande 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 quite important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) messes with 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 to hinder the onset of serious illnesses. (4)
Vitamin B12 itself is also really important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s an essential micronutrient as we can’t produce it. Statistics say that those of us in La Grande 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 put us at risk for 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC encourages our La Grande chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they’re low, let’s together, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC and you, set a plan to raise them.
Why? A low level of B12 causes a variety of neurological issues. These issues may be 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. 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 Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC to direct you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency discovered.
