The doctor told about unexpected reasons for the deterioration in well-being and performance at school or work and how to fix it.
The main vitamin for memory
If you or your loved ones notice that your memory is not what it used to be, your concentration is not what it used to be, and that it is generally difficult to cope with your usual activities at work, school or at home, most likely not all is well with your health. Of course, if you didn’t fall in love the day before or went on a long-awaited vacation.
– If there are no visible reasons for the deterioration of memory and attention, then it is worth getting tested for the presence of vitamins and nutrients in the body. Most likely, there is a shortage of some elements. For example, B12,” says nutritionist Natalya Lagotko.
According to the expert, this vitamin is often lacking in the blood of vegetarians and people with gastrointestinal problems (gastritis, ulcers).
The following reasons can lead to deficiency:
-
poor nutrition
-
atrophic gastritis, inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract;
-
pregnancy and lactation;
-
low stomach acidity
-
taking certain medications, including proton pump inhibitors;
-
parasites, especially intestinal ones;
-
bad habits
-
taking oral contraceptives (COCs).
How to compensate for B12 deficiency?
To correct the situation, it will take a lot of time, patience and work on your own habits. It is important to increase the proportion of seafood, cereals, eggs and offal eaten.
According to the doctor, it is also important to reduce the consumption of strong tea and coffee – the tannins in them interfere with the absorption of nutrients from food. But taking dietary supplements alone will definitely not solve the problem.
