Georgetown 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 were not always considered that important. Vitamins are really needed dietary components for healthy life. (1) Dr. Butwell understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Georgetown chiropractic patients and their deficiency’s contribution to our Georgetown chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. Dr. Butwell offers many Georgetown chiropractic care choices to diagnose as well as resolve health issues you bring to your Georgetown chiropractic appointment.
Health is often reliant upon proper vitamin levels as it is now known that a deficiency of them may be linked to 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 related to depression. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Dr. Butwell pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.
Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Georgetown diabetic patients. 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 influence the vitamin B12 level, as well. (2) Your Georgetown 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 low level of folate (B9) messes with dendritic cell function which influences 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 present for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)
Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. It’s essential for cellular function. It’s a necessary micronutrient as humans don’t make it. Statistics say that those of us in Georgetown 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. Eaten vitamin B12 experiences an intricate process of absorption and assimilation. (5) Dr. Butwell encourages our Georgetown chiropractic patients to test their B12 levels. If they’re low, let’s together, Dr. Butwell and you, set a plan to improve 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. The good news is that the researchers who found these issues were able to help the patients with vitamin B12 supplementation. (6) Trust Dr. Butwell to direct you to the required care for any B12 deficiency revealed.
Dr. Butwell is equipped to search for any nutritional deficiency that may be influencing your present health issue as nutrition is a part of chiropractic.
