New Delhi. Vitamin B12 is very important for the human body. It is found more in non-vegetarian foods than in vegetarian foods. Some signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency are visible in the limbs, which will be known in the article.

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient found in large quantities in non-veg, animal products such as cheese and eggs. Without red blood cells, the body cannot carry oxygen to the body parts and Vitamin B also helps in the formation of these red blood cells. Vitamin B deficiency can cause many health problems. Vitamin B12 deficiency is usually easily treated but unless you recognize the symptoms, it can make your daily routine difficult. In severe cases of Vitamin B deficiency, there can be a risk of heart failure, diabetes, arthritis and cancer.

Dr Jeremy Harris, senior partner at The Private GP Group in London, spoke to Express.co.uk to find out more about B12 deficiency. He warned that tingling or numbness in hands and feet is also a sign of vitamin B deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can manifest in different ways. The most common symptoms are fatigue, drowsiness, headache, feeling faint or difficulty breathing.

Why is there tingling in hands and feet?

Dr. Harris says, “Vitamin B12 is important for maintaining the health of the nerves because it plays an important role in the production of myelin, which is a protection layer around the nerves. When Vitamin B12 is low, this protection can become weak, causing damage to the nerve layer, which causes tingling in the hands and feet.

Vitamin B12 How can you prevent becoming deficient?

The best way to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency is to ensure that your body is not deficient in the vitamin and eat plenty of B12-rich foods. The body does not make vitamin B12, so it must be obtained from foods and supplements. This may be difficult if you are a vegetarian or vegan because B12 is found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products. Such people are given Vitamin B12 supplement.
