Introduction:
We discuss that what happens if we lack vitamin b12 in our body and effect on body health.
Since birth, we eat numerous foods which are delicious, healthy, and must need. We majorly look for proteins, calcium, iron, and vitamins if we seek in the category under nutrients.
While coming under nutrients it has its branches where we fail in most cases to have a look at which vitamin we need the most which one we need by default.
We all came across these cases which am stating below:-
- Twitching of the eye, where your eyelid will move faster in microseconds.
- Numbness in your hands where you lose the sensation of that part of your body.
- Loss of appetite
- Sudden Fatigue and even more.
List of the best food source of Vitamin B12:
We all come across these kinds of common factors at least once in our life. This is because that we lack vitamin B12 known as cobalamin. It is an important micronutrient that has to be consumed every day because it can’t be stored by our bodies.
*It keeps your body’s nerve and blood cells healthy, so let us explore what are all the foods that we can take every day or at least twice a week.
ORGAN MEAT
All meat organs (except intestines) contain high amounts of Vitamin B13. In combination with folate (also present in meat organs), Vitamin B12 helps moderate homocysteine levels in the blood.
High levels of homocysteine are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. You can have liver and kidneys, especially which are high in nutrients, the organs from lamb that are high in Vitamin B12. The lamb’s meat is too delicious equivalent to beef and is much better than beef as well.
It is best suited to have it during the summer seasons which makes your body cool. It is quite expensive comparing it to other meats as 100 grams of lamb contains 2.6 mg of Vitamin B12.
BEEF
And again it’s beef. We have been seeing beef in our previous articles where we explore some nutritious foods that are high in vitamins, where beef is an excellent source of Vitamin B12. We love to have beef as fried one, chops, and a mixup with rice, that makes a perfect lunch packed with high protein, carbs, and vitamins. A 100gram of beef contains 5.9 mg of Vitamin B12.
If in case you are a vegan you can find some required food that is enriched with B12.
FORTIFIED MILK
Fortified milk available at domestic shops is the best source of Vitamin B12. You can have it daily even twice a day along with some fruits will make the best diet food, that maintains your body weight at a low-fat rate as well. A cup of milk will give you 1.2mg of Vitamin B12.
*Vitamin B12 does not only help to maintain our body nerves, it also helps to synthesize our DNA.
FORTIFIED CEREALS
This is one of the best suggestions for vegans. Fortified Cereals are good for breakfast which makes you feel full, and it maintains the diet as well. Since most cereals are cholesterol-free it reduces our weight as well, and it is rich in Vitamin B12. It is advisable even you can have it every day.
SALMON
This is one of the best fish where we notified in our previous nutritious facts. A high-quality fatty fish that has high nutrients contains omega 3 fatty acids, good for the eyes, and it contains 4.2mg of Vitamin B12 per 100 grams.
CRAB
If you get bored with fish tries to get something else in the seafood, there is a best in it. Crab is packed with protein, which is important for building and maintaining muscle. Crab also contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12, and selenium. These nutrients play vital roles in improving general health while helping prevent a variety of chronic conditions.
Crabs are best when you fall in sick. It eliminates the entire cold in your body and makes you get good breath, but over intake of it may give you stomach upset like diarrhea, dysentery, etc. It’s advisable to have crab once or twice a month, as you get easily bored with its taste.
Last Words:
*Vitamin B12 is not found in any fruits, so you can go for any of the above-suggested foods to get a productive Vitamin B12.
Though Vitamin B12 is not stored by our body it’s important to consume it every day in our food routine. So having a proper meal is not only considered by taste also by nutrient value.
