Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) - The climate Booster Vitamin

vitamins in the morning - Vitamin B1 is recognized as the "mood-booster" vitamin because of its dramatic effect on our nerves and our mood. Besides supporting the nervous system, vitamin B1 helps with carbohydrate metabolism, boosts our defense mechanisms, wards off mosquitoes, helps develop red blood cells, maintains muscle tissue, promotes growth in children helping control motion sickness. An artificial version of vitamin B1 is included with white flour in to be able to ward off beriberi, but it is easier to consume the natural form, seen in abundance in whole grains. Because thiamine aids in carbohydrate metabolism, in addition, it makes energy readily available for the body, including the brain. So if you are not getting enough thiamine, you may not be feeding your mind enough glucose because of it to think well.

Extra Thiamine Requirements

vitamins in the morning - If you are pregnant or nursing, use oral contraceptives, cigarettes or diuretics, you will need more vitamin B1. Individuals with diets high in refined foods, an excessive amount of sugar and junk foods and/or alcohol will also have higher requirements for thiamine. Last, but not least, heavy metal pollutants like mercury and stress also employ up thiamine in the body and can increase your need for it. Vitamin b are used in detoxifying your body, and if you are exposed to more toxins, you will need more of the B vitamins overall.

Deficiency The signs of Vitamin B1

Fatigue and insomnia, bad memory, poor brain function and muscle coordination, headaches, weakness and confusion are all symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency. Insufficient thiamine been specifically linked to mood changes, disorderly thinking, fear and feelings of uneasiness -- all signs of mental depression that may often affect memory too. Beriberi is a disease that can be cultivated from a severe scarcity of B1, and is characterized by weakness, limb swelling and heart enlargement. It affects the nervous, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems, but is rare in the usa today because of the synthetic B1 additive in white flour.

Food Sources of Vitamin B1

Even if you get enough vitamin B1 to ward off beriberi, many of us do not get the optimum amount, especially due to all the stress we have been under, both emotionally and physically. Some of the best sources of Vitamin B1 are nutritional yeast, liver and whole grains like whole wheat, brown rice, oatmeal and rice bran. However, other foods like watermelon, asparagus, fresh peas, pork, ham and beef, legumes, seeds and nuts like sesame seeds may also be good sources of Vitamin B1.

Also, if the gut is healthy, and possesses a preponderance of fine bacteria (probiotics), it will be making Vitamin b. However, many of us took antibiotics over the years which have lowered the amount of good bacteria, so until you have taken steps to beat that, like with huge amounts of probiotics, either in supplement form or with cultured vegetables or lacto-fermented beverages, you almost certainly aren't making all the B vitamins your body needs.

Should You Supplement with Vitamin B1?

morning supplement - If you have a healthy gut and no Vitamin B deficiency symptoms, and you eat a lot of the foods containing B vitamins, you might not need to supplement. However, many of us are under enough stress and also have eaten a lot of refined foods who have stripped B vitamins from my bodies, and so vitamin b complex supplementation can be beneficial. However, unless know you have a big Vitamin B1 deficiency and so are taking only B1 for any specific purpose and certain amount of time under the care of a fitness care practitioner, we don't recommend supplementing simply with Vitamin B1. All of the B vitamins work in addition to each other, and often supplementing with just 1 or 2 of them may cause other B Vitamin imbalances. We propose adding a whole food supplement containing the B Complex vitamins, for example nutritional yeast and/or whole food based Vitamin b. These are very hard to find, however it is worth it to your body to make use of food-based vitamin B, in our opinion. It can take 6 months to 1 year to replenish your own body's supply of B vitamins, so supplementing can certainly help you to catch up.
