What does Vitamin B do?
Each of these B Vitamins are essential micronutrients that play a vital role in helping you maintain good health and wellbeing. They are essential for your overall bodily function, helping support areas such as: energy levels, normal nerve function, eyesight, muscle health, brain function, digestion, immunity, cardiovascular health, cell health and division, hormonal balance, red blood cell formation, skin, and much more.
The richest sources of B Vitamins are animal-based: meat (especially organ meats), fish, poultry, seafood, eggs, and dairy products. This is why people who eat a primarily plant-based diet are more susceptible to Vitamin B deficiencies. Other risk factors include the use of certain medications, and pre-existing health conditions such as digestive issues or excessive alcohol use.
Signs you may not be getting enough B Vitamins include: fatigue, low energy, getting ill often, cracks on and around the lips, anaemia, irritability or depression, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, and poor skin health. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see your GP and have some diagnostic blood tests done.
How do I support my immune system?
– Eat a healthy and balanced diet to help prevent Vitamin deficiencies, which can negatively impact normal immune function. Many micronutrients contribute to your immune health, including Vitamin C, Selenium, Amino Acids, Zinc, Vitamin D, and B Vitamins: which is why it is important to eat a varied diet and take supplements if needed, in order to maintain optimal levels of these Vitamins and minerals.
– Take care of your gut health
– Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoke inhalation
– Practice good hygiene habits, such as proper hand washing
– Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight
