Articles on vegetarian and vitamin b12 deficiency: What They Say Matters!

B12 is an exceptional vitamin. It is required in smaller amounts than any other known vitamin. Ten micrograms of B12 spread over a day appears to supply as much as the body can use. In the absence of any apparent dietary supply, deficiency symptoms usually take five years or more to develop in adults, though some people experience problems within a year.

On reading and researching articles on vegetarian and vitamin b12 deficiency, suffice it to say that this vitamin is essential for health perhaps more than most people may be aware of.

Now, the normal scenario is that vitamin B12 is made in the intestinal flora of the intestines with the help of beneficial bacteria. That said if this flora is in good shape, the hyped fear of being a vegetarian and vitamin b12 deficiency as a result may very well be unnecessary. Moreover, this is all the more true if we purposely add some unwashed homegrown or moderately RINSED greens and vegetables. (Which is why I personally don't WASH my veggies ya'll)

Tips on Recognizing Vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms.

Vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms may include: Confusion, anemia, loss of appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, weakness, and poor balance. If you have any Vitamin b12 deficiency symptoms, talk to your doctor. It could be that you have some of these symptoms not just because you're old, or did drugs in the sixties, or you're going through menopause. It's important not to try self-diagnosis, since any of these symptoms can be the result of a different serious condition. It's best to find out for sure.

I'm considering being Vegan How can I Avoid A vitamin b12 deficiency?

It shouldn't be difficult for vegetarians, including vegans, to get the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for adults. Besides animal products, many fortified vegan foods and supplements contain this crucial vitamin. If you used to eat meat, you may already have enough B12 stored in your body to be recycled and re-used for up to twenty or thirty years. A note to parents: It's very important for vegan mothers to make sure that their B12 intake is adequate during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Infants have no B12 stores to draw on and a B12 deficiency can be immediate and devastating.

The fact is, those who insist that you may at risk of a vitamin b12 deficiency as a vegetarian, are as likely to be deficient as you are. That's because B12 deficiency tends to be caused more often by poor absorption than by inadequate intake. If you want to know for sure about your B12 status, get the blood tests done.

Causes of vitamin b12 deficiency

As a vegetarian or vegan, or someone considering such a dietetic change, the one factor to be concerned about in all the known causes of vitamin b12 deficiency is to avoid things that may destroy your intestinal flora.

Upon reflection, we should note in a more primitive setting, we as humans would not have had to worry about the common causes of vitamin b12 deficiency, since the bacterial contamination of our unwashed fruits and veggies would solve this problem.

The truth is although most people may associate a Vitamin B12 deficiency with vegan diets, the majority of cases thay occur ironically exists amongst people who regularly consume animal products.

This proves that a scenario of a vitamin b12 deficiency is truly as a result of poor absorption and destroyed intestinal flora.

Still, to avoid the common causes of vitamin b12 deficiency ensure to do the following:

1. Avoid everything that may destroy your intestinal flora.

These include:
-The use of antibiotics
-Most prescribed drugs
-Many popular herbal remedies that contain caffeine
-Repeated colonics
-Overeating.
-An Excess of Acic Fruits (more than 4-5 oranges, 1-3 grapefruits in a day)
-Raw Garlic, onions and foods rich in mustard oil.

2. Include 'bacteria rich', unwashed or slightly rinsed greens in your diet.
3. Avoid EXCESSIVE sweet fruits (especially dried fruits mates)
4. Get out in the sun and fresh air as much as possible
5. Avoid chlorinated tap water!!!
6. Consume some sea-vegetables occasionally or some good ol' celery.
7. Heck, don't be too concerned about it...really!

In conclusion, on my thesis on the several articles on vegetarian and vitamin b12 deficiency I read up on to make this posting, as with most things, in regards to the overall subject, it's safe to say the safest route for dealing with it is this saying: "A wise man avoids all extremes"

Think about it mates.

To Health.
