Can Vegetarian Benefit from B12

The popularity of vegetarian diets has risen along with an interest in avoiding meat and meat products for environmental, philosophical, and health reasons. However, the term vegetarianism is subject to a wide range of interpretations. Some people consider themselves to be vegetarian when they avoid red meat.

Others believe that vegetarianism requires avoidance of all products that come from animals, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy foods. The most commonly described forms of vegetarianism include: "lacto-ovo vegetarians", who avoid products that come from meat, poultry, and fish but consume eggs and dairy foods; "strict vegetarians", who avoid meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy foods; and "vegans", who avoid meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy foods and also do not use products that come from animals such as honey, leather, fur, silk, and wool.

Strict vegetarians and vegans are at greater risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency than lacto-ovo vegetarians and nonvegetarians because natural food sources of vitamin B12 are limited to foods that come from animals.

Fortified cereals are one of the few sources of vitamin B12 from plants, and are an important dietary source of vitamin B12 for strict vegetarians and vegans. Strict vegetarians and vegans who do not consume foods that come from plants that are fortified with vitamin B12 need to consider taking a dietary supplement that contains vitamin B12 and should discuss the need for vitamin B12 supplements with their physician.

It is widely believed that vitamin B12 can be consistently obtained from nutritional yeasts. Consumers should be aware that these products may or may not contain added nutrients such as vitamin B12. Dietary supplements are regulated as foods rather than drugs, and companies that sell supplements such as nutritional yeasts fortified with vitamin B12 can legally change their formulation at any time. If you choose to supplement, select reliable sources of vitamin B12 and read product labels carefully.

When adults adopt a strict vegetarian diet, deficiency symptoms can be slow to appear. It may take years to deplete normal body stores of vitamin B12. However, breast-fed infants of women who follow strict vegetarian diets have very limited reserves of vitamin B12 and can develop a vitamin B12 deficiency within months.

This is of particular concern because undetected and untreated vitamin B12 deficiency in infants can result in permanent neurologic damage. Consequences of such neurologic damage are severe and can be irreversible. There are many case reports in the literature of infants and children who suffered consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is very important for mothers who follow a strict vegetarian diet to consult with a pediatrician regarding appropriate use of vitamin B12 supplements for their infants and children.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency and Dementia

Researchers have long been interested in the potential connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and dementia. A recent review examined correlations between cognitive skills, homocysteine levels, and blood levels of folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6.

The authors suggested that vitamin B12 deficiency may decrease levels of substances needed for the metabolism of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit nerve signals. Reduced levels of neurotransmitters may result in cognitive impairment.

In 142 individuals considered at risk for dementia, researchers found that a daily supplement providing 2 milligrams (mg) folic acid and 1 mg vitamin B12, taken for 12 weeks, lowered homocysteine levels by 30%. They also demonstrated that cognitive impairment was significantly associated with elevated plasma total homocysteine. However, the decrease in homocysteine levels seen with the use of vitamin supplements did not improve cognition. It is too soon to make any recommendations, but is an intriguing area of research.

Folic Acid And Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Folic acid can correct the anemia that is caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, folic acid will not correct the nerve damage also caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage can occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Folic acid intake from food and supplements should not exceed 1,000 µg daily in healthy individuals because large amounts of folic acid can trigger the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency. Adults older than 50 years who take a folic acid supplement should ask their physician or qualified health care provider about their need for additional vitamin B12.

What is the relationship between vitamin B12 homocysteine, and cardiovascular disease?

Cardiovascular disease involves any disorder of the heart and blood vessels that make up the cardiovascular system. Coronary heart disease occurs when blood vessels which supply the heart become clogged or blocked, increasing the risk of a heart attack. Vascular damage can also occur to blood vessels supplying the brain, and can result in a stroke.

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in industrialized countries such as the United States, and is on the rise in developing countries. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health has identified many risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including an elevated LDL-cholesterol level, high blood pressure, a low HDL-cholesterol level, obesity, and diabetes. In recent years, researchers have identified another risk factor for cardiovascular disease: an elevated homocysteine level.

Homocysteine is an amino acid normally found in blood, but elevated levels have been linked with coronary heart disease and stroke. Elevated homocysteine levels may impair endothelial vasomotor function, which determines how easily blood flows through blood vessels. High levels of homocysteine also may damage coronary arteries and make it easier for blood clotting cells called platelets to clump together and form a clot, which may lead to a heart attack.

Vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6 are involved in homocysteine metabolism. In fact, a deficiency of vitamin B12 ,folate, or vitamin B6 may increase blood levels of homocysteine. Recent studies found that vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements decreased homocysteine levels in subjects with vascular disease and in young adult women. The most significant drop in homocysteine level was seen when folic acid was taken alone. A significant decrease in homocysteine levels also occurred in older men and women who took a multivitamin/ multimineral supplement for 8 weeks. The supplement taken provided 100% of Daily Values (DVs) for nutrients in the supplement.

Evidence supports a role for folic acid and vitamin B12 supplements for lowering homocysteine levels, however this does not mean that these supplements will decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Clinical intervention trials are underway to determine whether folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 supplements can lower risk of coronary heart disease. It is premature to recommend vitamin B12 supplements for the prevention of heart disease until results of ongoing randomized clinical trials positively link increased vitamin B12 intake from supplements with decreased homocysteine levels AND decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Benefits of B12 and Those Senior Moments

New DocumentBenefits of B12 For Those Senior Moments

 

B12 is the key to reclaiming your mental energy.

Brain erosion can start as early as age 30.
Most everyone has “senior moments.” You’ll be talking with someone and suddenly you can’t remember your best friend’s name or the movie you saw last night. These are fairly commonplace occurrences for people as they age and nothing to worry about as long as they don’t happen very often.

However, if your age is creeping up to 40, 50 or 60 then you have reason to be concerned if:

• Your memory is starting to slip
• Your agility, coordination and balance may be off
• It’s harder for you to focus and concentrate
• Your attention span is shorter
• Your concentration is scattered
• It’s more difficult for you to start or sustain a conversation
• Your handwriting is becoming sloppy or illegible
• You are starting to wonder whether you are getting dementia.

If one or more of these is happening to you, it could be the result of brain erosion. Brain erosion means that the brain actually erodes or shrinks. Can the brain really shrink? Yes it can! The human brain may lose from 10 to 25 percent of its total volume due to the effects of stress.

That’s scary enough, but now brain erosion is happening to people at a much younger age than in the past. Statistics from the 1970s and 1980s found brain erosion only in people over 50. However, a major study conducted by Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri) detected brain volume loss as early as age 30. Researchers also discovered that this brain volume loss often leads to dementia.*

There is a "miracle" that can help your memory as you age!

The miracle is vitamin B12, a common vitamin found in everyday foods and multivitamins that you may already be taking. B12 is extremely vital in brain and nerve function—playing an integral part in memory. However, according to medical science, as you age, your body's ability to absorb vitamin B12 through food and pills decreases. In fact, many adults may be unable to absorb vitamin B at all and have to receive expensive B12 shots each month!

Now there is something that works like a B12 shot —

without the expense and pain of an injection! People have experienced amazing B12 benefits from these shots over the years. But now, there is something more convenient than a B12 shot . Dr. Libby's original, patented Sublingual B12, B-6 & Folic Acid from TriVita gives you all the benefits of B12 you need—so you avoid the pain and expense of an injection.

Celiac Disease

Desperate to lose weight

Poor nutrition is a concern that affects many people, but did you know that as many as 1 in every 133 Americans (or 2 million in the continental United States) suffer from a special kind of nutritional disorder called celiac disease that can lead to a variety of other health problems?

Once thought to be a disease that affected only a rare few is now known to be much more common. And while that does not bode well for those that suffer from its effects, it has led to a greater understanding of celiac disease that is aiding (and will continue to do so) the treatment effort.

What Is Celiac Disease?

For those who have never heard of celiac disease, here is how it works: quite simply, celiac disease is a disorder of the digestive system that inflicts damage to the small intestine and prevents proper absorption of nutrients. People afflicted have a particularly difficult time digesting gluten, which is a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. More specifically, celiac disease damages the villi, or protrusions of the small intestine lining that aid in absorption. As a result, no matter how much an individual eats, he or she will remain malnourished.

What Triggers Celiac Disease?

While celiac disease is a genetic disorder, certain factors can trigger it. You can expect celiac disease to become active, if it runs in the family and is not immediately noticeable, after events such as surgery, infection, stress, pregnancy, or childbirth.

Children and adults can exhibit symptoms of the disease differently. In children, signs such as these could raise the flag:

• Chronic diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Excessive weight loss
• Abdominal bloating
• Abnormalities in stool, such as fattiness, unusually foul odours, or discoloration

Adults may exhibit some of these signs, though it is far less common. Usually, celiac disease manifests itself in one or more of the following ways:

• Fatigue
• Arthritis
• Depression or anxiety
• Seizures
• Sores inside of mouth
• Skin rashes
• Numbness of the feet and hands
• Osteoporosis
• Pain in bones or joints
• Unexplained iron deficiencies in blood (or anaemia)

Keep in mind these symptoms are not automatic indicators you carry the disease. Awareness of family medical history is extremely helpful, and consultation with your doctor is essential. It is important for you to realize that celiac disease does not have to rule your life. There are treatments available, but you must take advantage of them. Oftentimes, a gluten-free diet helps you to live a normal life, free of the long-term effects, such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and auto immune thyroid and liver diseases.

But it is just as important for you to realize that celiac disease is a condition, which can lead to more harmful long-term effects. By knowing the limits of your body, and the proper nutritional information for how to deal with celiac disease, you place yourself at less risk.

SEO and Back Links

You've gone through all the hard work of creating a great looking web site, so what's next? It's not like some brand new great looking corner pub - where you build it and customers will show up. If that's your thinking, you better change your mindset.

The Internet is so large and is growing every single day. With the ever-growing number of web sites, it's almost impossible for someone to find your site, just because you have a domain (your presence on the web). You must understand that your just one small web site among the masses. How on earth will anybody ever find you? Is it possible to make your site visible?

Site visibility does not just happen! You need your site to become visible when someone searches for whatever you have to offer. The best way to become visible to people is to become visible to search engines, sometimes that's easier said than done. However, there are several different search engine optimization (SEO) techniques you can use to become visible.

Over the years, SEO has changed. Some techniques that worked in the 1990's do not work today, yet some SEO techniques have become more and more popular over the years. On such technique is back linking, other sites that point to your web site. Back links are a major factor in determining your site's popularity or ranking with the search engines, like Google, MSN, and Yahoo!. And in the eyes of the search engines, site popularity pays big dividends.

Here's a quote I found at ezilon.com while searching the Internet:

"To search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, when someone links to your site it's like they are voting for it. Someone thought your content was valuable enough to link to, so it must be important. The more people linking to your site, the more important it must be."

That's exactly what back links do for your web site, they're saying it has value. It's like they're telling Google, "I really like this site and I think it's an important site, so you should give it a better ranking." OK, that's not really what's happening, but it sounds good and makes sense.

Back links play a huge role in the ranking of your web sites. However, what's even more important than the number of links pointing to your site is the anchor text. Anchor text is the visible, clickable text of a link. For example, the following phrase is anchor text: search engine optimization.

On the web page, the anchor text is what readers actually see.

Search engines see anchor text too, and they use it as a way of determining what your site is all about. This is why you want anchor text of incoming links to include your main keywords whenever possible. I haven't mentioned anything about keywords up to this pint, but it's very important that you understand something about them.

I mentioned that your site needs to become visible when someone searches for whatever you have to offer. More than likely, your site was built to sell an item, offer a service, or promote a program. Whatever it is you have to offer, you need to convey your site's message in a single word, or phrase. That's the "keyword" for your web site. That keyword is what someone is going to type in when they go to Google, MSN, or Yahoo!.

Now that you understand the importance of both back links and anchor tags, let's look at a few ways that you can get back links to your web site.

One way to get natural links back to your web site is by setting up a blog for your company. Make sure you network online with other blogs that complement yours. If you share industry news and have useful and relevant content, you'll attract links. Reference other bloggers in your content and link to other blogs in your industry.

When it comes to blogs, content is king. Make sure you use your chosen keyword throughout your post. Make sure your content reflect your company or your web site. Your content could be the page that carries your web site around the Internet world. Remember, "cheap content is just that - cheap." Make sure you create content that people want to read and that will make them come back again and again.

In my opinion, blogs are the places where you can gain a tremendous amount of back links. If you haven't created a blog, go to blogger.com and get started, it's free. Search the Internet for blogs within your industry, or niche market, and post comments. Review products and/or services and post those reviews on other sites to build back links.

There are plenty of ways to get your site visible, and thousands of ways to build links, but one thing is certain, you must get started. Sometimes, getting started is the hardest thing to do, but when it comes to search engine optimization, nobody is going to do it for you. However, if you do find someone to do it, it will cost you. There are plenty of SEO companies, just search Google.
