Including asparagus, mushrooms, romaine lettuce, > spinach, tuna, green peas, and sunflower seeds, tomatoes, Brussels > sprouts and eggplant in your diet might ensure a steady supply of B1 > vitamin. Over cooking and long term refrigeration might destroy Vitamin > B1. Deficiency symptoms: Some of the early symptoms might include > lethargy, irritability, loss of memory, loss of sleep or appetite, > weight loss, indigestion or constipation, and calf muscle tenderness. If > left untreated these initial symptoms might lead to a more severe form > of thiamin deficiency, known as beriberi characterized by nerve, heart, > and brain abnormalities. However the symptoms might vary in different > forms. > * Dry Beriberi: Might involve nerve and muscle abnormalities, > prickling sensation in the toes, and burning sensation in the feet > especially at night, leg cramps and muscle atrophy. * Wet Beriberi: > Common symptoms might include abnormally fast heart beats, fluid > retention in the legs, pulmonary edema, hypotension, which might result > in shock and eventual death. * Brain Abnormalities: In habitual > alcoholics, Thiamin deficiency might result in brain abnormalities such > as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Some of its common symptoms include > haziness, involuntary eye movements, difficulty in walking and partial > paralysis of the eyes among others. If ignored these symptoms could > become fatal. Some of the common symptoms of Korsakoff's psychosis > include loss of memory, incoherence and confabulation. * Infantile > Beriberi: Commonly seen in newborn children of women already suffering > from thiamin deficiency, who could contract this condition from the > mother’s milk. Heart failure, loss of reflexes and aphonia are some of the common symptoms. > Benefits: > Vitamin B1 helps in many important body functions and some of its > benefits would include the following. > * Involved in the energy production: Sugar is the principal source of > energy in your body where it is oxidized to form usable form of energy > in the presence of vitamin B1. It is part of a complex enzyme system > called the pyruvate dehydrogenase system, which helps in the oxidation > of sugar. Vitamin B1 is required for the functioning of this enzyme > system, which releases energy for the normal functions of the body. > * Helps in the development of myelin sheaths: Vitamin B1 helps in the > proper development of myelin sheaths around nerves. Deficiency of > Vitamin B1, might result in the degeneration of these coverings, which > might result in nerve damage. * Ensures proper cardiac > function: This vitamin helps in the production of the neurotransmitter, > acetylcholine, which is used to relay messages between the nerves and > muscles and to ensure proper cardiac function. Vitamin B1 deficiency can > thus result in irregular cardiac functions. People suffering from > congestive heart failure, when administered vitamin B1 intravenously for > seven days, showed considerable improvements in their echocardiograms, > which proves that vitamin B1, can prevent heart disease. * Prevents > cataracts: When used along with other essential nutrients, Vitamin B1 > can stall the occurrence of cataracts. * Reduces the effects of > aging: It is a powerful anti-oxidant, which helps you from the ill > effects of aging. * Ensures proper digestion: It helps in the > secretion of hydrochloric acids, which is essential for the complete > digestion of food particles. * Prevents Alzheimer’s disease: > Vitamin B1 is thought to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s > disease. Persons suffering from this disease condition have benefited > when vitamin B1 supplements of 100 mg per day were administered. > However, there are placebo-controlled trial studies till now to > authenticate this claim. * Improves memory: Vitamin B1 can improve > your memory and concentration. It is also used in the management of many > nervous disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Bell’s palsy > among others. Function: Vitamin B1 is better known as " morale vitamin " > for its positive impact on the nervous system and a healthy mental > attitude. * Helps in the production of red blood cells: Vitamin B1 > has an important role in the production of RBC, which in turn keeps the > person healthy and active. * Restores deficiencies caused by > alcoholism: Vitamin B1 can even off the deficiencies caused by > cirrhosis, infections, hyperthyroidism or alcoholism. * Improves > appetite: It can significantly improve appetite and mental alertness > Food for thought > As it is a water soluble vitamin, it will be expelled through urine.
