Health News (Week 38 – 2014)
By Robert Redfern

For some it is the start of the Fall/Autumn and others it is the start of Spring but wherever you are in this world, life seems to get busier. Whether a student starting college, in a busy career, managing a family or a senior, it seems we need to throw ourselves full throttle into juggling our work and family life. But while working hard may be essential, it can sometimes be to the detriment of our health and wellbeing.

To stay healthy and stress-free during busy periods, we need to fuel our brain and nervous system with the right nutrients.

The brain functions best when it receives critical B vitamins which are burned up in the process of providing fuel for the brain and body, as well as in the creation of new red blood cells that carry iron and hemoglobin, enabling more oxygen to flow around the body.

Be Vital

Every cell needs B vitamins to produce ATP (energy) to function and this has a major impact on every aspect of health, from the normal every day metabolism to the detoxification process.

People who have a B vitamin deficiency may find that they feel tired easily, fatigued, suffer from muscle weakness and have problems with memory. A lack of B vitamins especially B12 can lead to anemia along with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, paranoia and other forms of psychosis.

To get your B vitamins it’s essential that you follow a carbs and sugar free natural foods diet, containing no processed foods. Choose raw fruits and vegetables, preferably organic, as these are rich in vitamins and minerals. Meanwhile beans and lentils are another source high in B vitamins. It’s best to avoid grains and starchy carbs altogether, especially bread and white rice in particular, as these have been stripped of their nutrients.

Why B Vitamin Supplements?

While a healthy diet can provide some of the necessary B vitamins, it’s always a good idea to supplement to make sure you’re getting enough. People with Digestive Diseases for example, need to be taking a full spectrum B vitamin supplement as these digestive disorders can make it more difficult for the body to absorb B vitamins properly.

Vegetarians and vegans need to consider one of the below formulas too, as they may find that they struggle to get enough B12 in their diet (essential for blood cell health) since this is more easily found in animal protein sources.

As we age it also becomes more difficult for the body to absorb B vitamins as efficiently, which is why I recommend the following formulas to anyone who wishes to maximize their uptake of B vitamins and avoid senility.
