Spina bifida. Osteoporosis. Dementia. Heart disease. Mood.
Energy. Post-surgical delirium. B vitamin status influences
these health conditions and more. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation manages health and
spine issues for Carrolltown chiropractic patients throughout their
lives and works to keep those lives as active
and healthy through time with chiropractic care
that involves spinal manipulation as well as
nutrition, particularly centered on B vitamin
status.
WHAT ARE ADVANTAGES OF B VITAMINS
There are many B vitamins of value.
B vitamins maintain the body’s production and use of
energy obtained from food. Foods like fish, poulty, meat,
eggs, dairy, green leafy vegetables, beans, peas, some cereals and breads provide
B vitamins. (1) In the US, fortified-with-folate
grains since 1998 decreased
spina bifida cases by 767 [[annually]21] and saved $603
million per year. Other diseases also decreased like myocardial infarction, stroke, dementia and
osteoporosis adding 266,649 quality-adjusted life-years and saving $3.6 billion
a year for cardiac infarction. In Japan, fortification of rice with folate decreased the same and
similar issues. (2) B vitamins diminish stress, anxiety, depression,
PMS; boost memory, energy, mood, wound healing, and DNA repair; decrease
the risk of spina bifida, heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, migraine,
cholesterol levels. Some certain examples of B vitamin
deficiency issues are the lack of folic acid, B6 and B12 which
may lead to increased homocysteine levels, putting
you at risk for chronic illness like heart disease. B12 boosts the action of antidepressants. B8 (inositol) is shown
to help depression and anxiety. B12 grows more significant
the older we get as we don’t process it as well as we do when
we are younger. A decent multi-supplement
may supply all the B vitamins you need. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
will figure this out with you.
SOME SPECIFIC B VITAMINS
There are 8 B vitamins. Collectively, they
are referred to as the B vitamin complex. B vitamin status affects
gene-nutrient interactions and more. Folate (B9)-related diseases like spina
bifida are avoidable with folic acid supplementation for
pregnant mothers. B12-related issues like risk of cognitive
dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis may be tackled
with increased B12 levels which may be more difficult
for older people as it is not as well absorbed as we age. Older
folks aren’t alone though as some of us have genetic features
that make it tougher, too, like those with MTHFR which is connected
to issues like stroke. Riboflavin (B2) has newly been found related
to blood pressure and the risk of hypertension. (4) Including B vitamins with pre-surgical solution of patients undergoing on-pump coronary
artery bypass grafting surgery decreases the incidence of
postoperative delirium often reported in cobalamin (B12)-deficient
patients. (5) Getting enough and getting the right type of B vitamin is important
for all of us of all ages throughout our lives! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows
and urges that Carrolltown chiropractic patients have
their B levels tested and addressed as needed.
A NEW B VITAMIN CONNECTION
B vitamins diminished
neuropathic pain related to peripheral nerve injury, sensory neuron
inflammation and compression, and transient spinal cord ischemia. Researchers noticed
that B vitamins enhanced the effectiveness
of morphine when implemented for severe pain. Researchers discovered a connection
between the action of morphine and neuropathic pain. Therefore, researchers suggested
that B vitamins may help patients with neuropathic pain. (6) Let
us talk about how B vitamins may benefit you at your next
