Oxford 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) Satterwhite Chiropractic understands vitamins’ importance to the health of our Oxford chiropractic patients and their influence on our Oxford chiropractic patients’ back pain and neck pain conditions. At Satterwhite Chiropractic, a full host of Oxford chiropractic care options are available to determine the source of your current concern and help resolve it.
Vitamins are important for health as it’s now recognized that a deficiency 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 related to depression. The multifaceted nature of depression is interconnected with vitamin B. (1) Satterwhite Chiropractic pays attention to our patients carefully for any depression symptoms.
Another subset of patient to check B levels in are Oxford 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 influence the vitamin B12 level, also. (2) Your Oxford chiropractor understands diabetes well.
Vitamins promote cancer prevention, particularly in the initial stages of the cancer development. Folate (B9), vitamins B2, B6, and B12 are rather important. Specifically, a low level of folate (B9) 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 excited about the potential vitamins like B present for the prevention of serious illnesses. (4)
Vitamin B12 itself is also quite important. Vitamin B12 is crucial to cell function. It’s a necessary micronutrient as humans don’t make it. 15% of us Oxford folks who are older than 65 don’t have enough vitamin B12. B12 deficiency results in blood and neurological issues. We may have a higher risk of coronary artery disease if our B12 levels are low.|Low B12 levels may also put us at risk for coronary artery disease. We can only get vitamin B12 by eating proteins from animals. When vitamin B12 is eaten, it goes through a complicated absorption and assimilation process. (5) Satterwhite Chiropractic encourages our Oxford chiropractic patients to check their B12 levels. If they are low, let’s together, Satterwhite Chiropractic and you, make a plan to raise 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. Fortunately, B12 supplementation helped all these patients. (6) Trust Satterwhite Chiropractic to direct you to the necessary care for any B12 deficiency revealed.
