In this article, we will provide you with detailed knowledge about what the lack of Vitamin B12 can cause on your body-

Vitamin B12 is extremely important for your nerve tissue health, brain function, and the production of red blood cells. But the deficiency of this important vitamin is extremely common in India. According to a survey done by Heal Health and Hansa Research, and supported by Procter and Gamble Health has revealed that the deficiency of this vitamin can lead to nerve damage and about 60% of Indians are not aware of this issue. Experts have also said that the nerve damage caused by Vitamin B12 deficiency can harm the human body permanently.

Our body cannot make Vitamin B12 on its own. This is why we need to get it from the food we eat and from other supplements. As the Dean and HOD Neurology of Bombay Hospital Institute of Medical Sciences, Satish Khadilkar said, “while some people don’t consume enough vitamin B12 to meet their needs, others can’t absorb enough, no matter how much they take in. As a result, vitamin B12 deficiency is found to be relatively common, especially among older people”. Doctors have also pointed out we need to consume certain vegetables and fruits that contain a lot of Vitamin B12. Here is a list of foods that are rich in vitamin B12.

Lamb, veal and beef liver and kidneys are rich in vitamin B12. Grilled beef steak is also full of Vitamin B12. Fish is another source of Vitamin B12 along with many vitamins and minerals. Milk and dairy products like yoghurt and cheese are also great sources of Vitamin B12. Eggs are also full of Vitamin B12.
