Vitamin B12 performs a number of basic functions in the body that are responsible for both physical and mental processes. Therefore, its deficiency can affect the body in different ways. Doctors recommend paying attention to the four main symptoms.
First of all, any malfunctions in the body’s systems are reflected on the tongue. For example, with B12 deficiency, glossitis appears. In this case, the tongue becomes inflamed, changes shape and color, becomes swollen, red, and painful. In addition, it almost “disappears” receptors, which makes the tongue seem smooth, writes Express.
One of the most serious side effects of B12 deficiency is nerve damage. The substance is involved in the metabolic process that results in the formation of myelin. The latter surrounds the nerves with a kind of isolation, without which the nervous system can not function properly. In that person feels constant tingling all over the body, but most often the limbs suffer from it.
Another symptom of vitamin deficiency is blurred vision or impaired vision. This is due to damage to the optic nerve system.
In addition, you should pay attention to weakness or fatigue. The condition occurs when the body lacks B12 to produce red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. As a result, the bloodstream is unable to efficiently transport vital gas to the cells, so a person begins to experience a sharp lack of energy.
Vitamin B12 is found in animal products, including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. It can also be found in some types of bread and vegetable milk.
