that involves spinal manipulation plus
nutrition, particularly focused on B vitamin
status.
WHAT ARE ADVANTAGES OF B VITAMINS
There are many B vitamins of importance.
B vitamins maintain the body’s production and use of
energy derived 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, fortification of grains with folate since 1998 reduced
spina bifida cases by 767 [[annually]21] and saved $603
million per year. Other diseases also dropped in
incidence like myocardial infarction, stroke, dementia and
osteoporosis adding 266,649 quality-adjusted life-years and saving $3.6 billion
annually for cardiac infarction. In Japan, folate-fortified
rice reduced 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 problems are the lack of folic acid, B6 and B12 which
may lead to increased homocysteine levels, placing
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 becomes more important
the older we get as we do not process it as well as we do when
we are in our younger years. A decent multi-supplement
may supply all the B vitamins you need. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
will figure this out with you.
SOME SPECIFIC B VITAMINS
There are 8 B vitamins. Together, they
are referred to as the B vitamin complex. B vitamin status influences
gene-nutrient interactions and more. Folate (B9)-related diseases like spina
bifida are preventable with folic acid supplementation for
pregnant mothers. B12-related issues like risk of cognitive
dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis may be tackled
with improved 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 qualities
that make it more difficult, too, like those with MTHFR which is linked
to issues like stroke. Riboflavin (B2) has recently been found linked
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 reduces the incidence of
postoperative delirium often reported in cobalamin (B12)-deficient
patients. (5) Getting enough and getting the right type of B vitamin is vital
for all of us of all ages throughout our lives! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows
and urges that Tonawanda chiropractic patients have
their B levels checked and improved as appropriate.
A NEW B VITAMIN CONNECTION
B vitamins lessened
neuropathic pain related to peripheral nerve injury, sensory neuron
inflammation and compression, and transient spinal cord ischemia. Researchers noticed
that B vitamins enhanced the usefulness
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’s talk about how B vitamins may help you at your next
Tonawanda chiropractic appointment.
