In the previous article, we’ve described what B vitamins are, the eight types, their functions and food sources. In this article, let’s proceed to talk about the common symptoms associated with a deficiency in each of the eight B-group vitamins. B vitamins are essential for maintaining cell health and keeping you energized, and you must keep taking them in adequate amount since they are water-soluble and are not stored in the body. This means excess amount is given out through urine, and you have to load up on these vitamins daily to stay healthy. Some foods are high in several B vitamins, while certain foods are particularly high in a specific B vitamin. However, eating a balanced diet is key to getting all these vitamins, at least in amounts that your body needs.

Do you always suffer flu or cold? Is it getting on your nerves? Do you sometimes feel that’s normal? Well, the truth is that the fact that some people get sick doesn’t mean everybody has to. Your ability to fight infection or ward of disease is strongly dependent on an important system in the body called the “Immune System.” The interesting part is that your brain/nervous system has a huge control over your immune system. Over the past 20 years, there has been much research conducted on the human immune system, and findings have clearly shown that there is a correlation between your nervous system and your state of immunity. Little wonder, many of our patients at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, who come in with sore throats, colds, stomach viruses and sinus congestion often report an accelerated recovery after our chiropractic adjustment. Many of them now notice that when their co-workers are all catching flu and cold, they are not. Others notice that they are get sick less frequently than before. What does this mean? It means that chiropractic correction of the subluxation has a strong effect in improving immune responses of the body. This chiropractic adjustment actually reduces nerve interference.

Do you often feel kind of “off” or struggle with your mood? If you answered “YES,” then your brain chemicals may just be out of balance and need a tune up. Your brain is the powerhouse that runs your life. When the function of your brain is intact, you tend to be energetic, thoughtful, and creative, but when it is out of balance, you may suffer serious problems with your mood, memory, relationship, anger, and work performance. There are billions of cells in your body connected one to another. These cells communicate through chemical signals or neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, dopamine, and GABA. The balance of these brain chemicals is important for your mental, emotional, and overall wellbeing. Hence, there are some supplements and vitamins that contributes largely to the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Here are some natural supplements and vitamins that increases the brain’s supply of neurotransmitters as well as support brain balance:

Stress is one of the big problems facing our society today. Oftentimes, most of us feel a level of stress or try to relieve it, or both. What is Stress? In simple words, stress is a physical and mental reaction to a potential threat. When you are faced with a potential danger, your body triggers the fight-or-flight response, and this helps to prepare you to deal with the danger. For example, when attacked by a ferocious animal that’s trying to devour you, your body produces stress hormones that helps you deal with the danger. This stress hormone is what triggers the fight or flight response. You breath faster, your heart races and your muscles are ready to take action. This stress response is designed to prepare your body to react quickly to an emergency. It is often beneficial for immediate, short-term situations. But note that when your stress response keeps firing every day, it can take a toll on your health. Some symptoms of chronic stress include:

Mental and emotional stress are often expressed in form of depression, anxiety, worries, guilt, frustration, and moodiness, and these conditions are linked to an abnormal brain chemistry. It is normal for you to feel stressed or depressed when you encounter a traumatic event in your life, such as loss of a loved one. But sometimes, you may not even know why you’re having mental or emotional stress, and it can be a function of the brain chemistry. The amount of certain substances in the brain called “neurotransmitters” have a large influence on your mental and emotional stress levels.
