Vitamin B6 is involved in metabolism and is necessary for the proper functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system. It helps to form neurotransmitters: serotonin and norepinephrine. Doctors warn that a dangerous disease can cause B6 deficiency.
The main sources of the vitamin: chickpeas, beef liver, yellowfin tuna, chicken breast, bananas and tofu. It is found in smaller amounts in avocados, brown rice, carrots, fish, milk, pork and potatoes. Symptoms of B6 deficiency include peripheral neuropathy with tingling, numbness and pain in the hands and feet, anemia, seizures, depression, confusion, and a weakened immune system. Scientists believe that hypothyroidism can lead to vitamin deficiency.
This disease occurs due to a lack of thyroid hormones. It threatens obesity, infertility and heart disease. The danger of hypothyroidism is that it is often not accompanied by pain, so the probability of detecting it in time is very low, doctors warn. Symptoms appear slowly over several years, gradually increasing fatigue and weight.
Doctors draw attention to the fact that this condition is more common in middle-aged and older women, as well as in people whose relatives had thyroid diseases.
