Three signs of B12 deficiency

Posted by Sigit Dolland Kamis, 16 Juni 2016 0 comments

With age, our body loses the ability to absorb vitamin B12. Unfortunately, not only aging can cause the B12 deficiency. Unhealthy eating, drugs, bad habits, and even some medicaments can provoke this problem. Consequences can be different: from easy weakness to fainting and vision problems. Moreover, B12 is one of the most important vitamins for normal brain functioning, it provides nutrients into cells and stimulates blood flowing. Best Long Island Neurologists offer you three most obvious signs of B12 deficiency you should pay attention to. Analyze your day and define whether you have such problem or no.

Sign # 1 Fatigue

Fatigue is a symptom of a huge number of diseases, including B12 lack. If you can barely awake at 12 A.M. and still feel tired, it is time to visit your doctor and pass some tests. Your body doesn’t get enough oxygen and nutrients for proper work, so it turns on “sleep mode” to save vital power.

Sign #2 You feel dizzy

Dizziness, such as fatigue, is a serious health problem. If you feel dizzy every time you stood up from a chair, it is time to rethink your daily routine. Of course, this rule doesn’t work when you are in a gym or exercising at home.

Sign #3 Pale skin

Naturally light or even pale skin always looks beautiful, but if you suddenly noticed that your skin changed the color, you should sound an alarm.

Make an appointment with one of the best Long Island Neurologists and find out more information about your body.

Top Five Herbal Teas to Easily Prepare

Escape the hustle and bustle of life, as well as the stress that follows us daily, the herbal way – with a variety of (hot) teas like these.

Holy Basil – Unwind from all the frantic running around that contributes to holiday stress with a cup of Holy Basil tea. Its spicy clove aroma and delicious taste and smell will help you forget all about that frizzy-haired guy who stole your parking spot at the mall.

Ginger – Did you eat too much bean dip again? Stuffed yourself on stuffing? Ginger tea could be the perfect after-dinner drink. It’s commonly known to improve digestion and reduce flatulence.* (Come on…we are adults here, right? We can say flatulence with a straight face, can’t we?)

Elder Flower – A hot cup of tea can be soothing after a long day, so boil some water and steep some elder flower tea, which is traditionally used to help support respiratory health.* Elder flower tea has a delicate floral aroma and a soothing, pleasantly mild flavor.

St. John’s Wort – Holiday stress and gray skies can sometimes get you down. This is not a new phenomenon; hundreds of years ago, the Greeks and Romans dealt with this same reaction to “lack of sunlight” during the winter. So, as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” and grab some St. John’s Wort tea to help lighten your mood.

Echinacea – Of course, one of the most frequently thought of herbs during the months ahead is Echinacea, which is traditionally known for helping to support the immune system*.

All of these teas are available from Alvita®, the oldest single-herb tea brand in the U.S., and can be purchased here.

The thought of losing one’s memory is frightening. Dr. Weil recommends Huperzine A, otherwise known as Chinese club moss, a natural remedy that may help keep memory sharp and ward off Alzheimer’s.

He also recommends Phosphatidyl serine (PS), a naturally occurring lipid that’s considered a brain cell nutrient. It may have positive effects on memory and concentration to help slow age-related cognitive decline. In addition, PS may reduce stress by limiting cortisol spikes.
