-minerals.html> Vitamin B1 is one of the eight water-soluble vitamins in

the B complex family. It helps in the conversion of carbohydrates into

glucose, which in turn is used to produce energy for carrying out

various body functions. Vitamin B1 is required for the breakdown of fats

and protein. In addition to these vitamins maintain the muscle tone

along the wall of the digestive tract and promote the health of the

nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. It also improves the

body to withstand stress and is often called " anti-stress " vitamin

Important Sources: Yeast and liver are the richest sources of Vitamin

B1. Pork, whole-grain cereals rye, wheat germ and kidney beans are also

rich in this vitamin. 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 death and 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. So,

make sure to maintain a well balanced diet that can supply the requisite

amounts of vitamin regularly. This article was contributed by Seema
