Vitamin B12 is important for the health of nerves, blood cells, and DNA formation. Many systems start to malfunction if the vitamin is deficient. The effect on the peripheral nervous system is especially serious.
According to ToDay News Ufa, experts said that the peripheral nervous system includes different types of nerves with their own functions, including sensory functions that are responsible for transmitting sensations, such as pain and touch. There are also motor functions, which are responsible for controlling muscles, and autonomic functions are responsible for regulating the body’s automatic functions. Sensory functions will bring the biggest challenges.
Experts have noticed that a B12 deficiency can lead to insensitivity to light and various touches. This can cause confusion, depression, or memory loss.
All other symptoms of B12 deficiency lead to digestive problems. Experts say that nausea, vomiting, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea may occur.
Treatment will depend on the cause of the problem. But most often the lack of a vitamin is replenished by injection, addition or inclusion in the diet of certain foods, most often of animal origin.
