Vitamin B12 Deficiency Is a Risk for Vegans and Vegetarians

According to scientific studies, it has been shown that people following a vegan or vegetarian diet are prone to develop a vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 or cobalamine belongs to the family of B vitamins and is responsible of maintaining the good health of nervous tissues and the brain as well as regulating oxygen in the blood. It was first discovered when it was associated with its biggest cause: pernicious anemia.

The trouble vegans and vegetarians have is that this vitamin is not found in good quantities in vegetable food. Vegans don’t even eat animal-derived food, so they have even more risk of suffering from the vitamin deficiency symptoms. You can get it in good quantities following a diet that include meat, shellfish meat, fish and dairy products. Although the body has supplies of B12 vitamin to keep ourselves healthy over some years, these reserves’ depletion will be just a matter of time, and it will be accompanied by the B12 deficiency symptoms, including weakness, numbness in hands and feet, difficulty breathing, fatigue, soreness in the mouth, confusion, and diarrhea among others.

Does this mean there is no hope for vegans and vegetarians? Absolutely not. With this information in mind, it is now important to make the right decisions for your lifestyle. In this case, this means you will have to add to your diet fortified cereals that provide you with the needed B12 levels. It is also essential to go with a doctor if you are currently suffering the symptoms of the deficiency to get immediate treatment. You will need to undergo all the necessary exams to determine your problem and severity. Doctors cannot give a diagnosis based only on your symptoms, since they are not exclusive to a B12 deficiency.

Remember that prevention is key with our vitamin levels, if you want to follow this lifestyle; you need to do so taking care of your body needs.
