Geez buddy, stress and diet can do some wicked things to our bodies if we let it!.
It is possible that you are suffering from a Vitamin B6 deficiency ~ this will produce terrible dry mouth which cannot be resolved no matter how much water you drink, night time muscle spasms, leg cramps, excessive urination, nausea and vomiting, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. vitamin B6 is needed for the effective assimilation of Vitamin B12 so if you are deficient in B6 (pyridoxine) then you will also be displaying symptoms of vitamin B12 (cycoanobalamin) deficiency ie: headaches and migraines, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly,excessive sweating, chest pains and heart palpitations, depression, constipation and insomnia!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. vitamin B12 is needed for effective iron assimilation, so if you are deficient in B12 then you would also be displaying symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia ie: fatigue and exhaustion, dizzy spells and fainting and loss of balance and paleness of skin!. A quick way to check if you are iron deficient is to pull down the bottom lid of your eyelids and check the color!. If it is red or dark pink then you are healthy but if it is pale and pasty white looking then you are more than likely iron deficient!.
Eat more foods rich in Vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs!.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6 ie; wheat bran, wheat germ, liver, fish, cantaloupe, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, unmilled rice, oats and eggs!.
Eat more foods rich in iron ie: Pork, beef, liver, red meat, clams, dried peaches, farina, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, molasses and oatmeal!.
Iron assimilates more effectively when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C ie; citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, leafy green vegies and red and green peppers!.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis!.
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin, diuretics and laxatives will rob you of your B complex of vitamins and vitamin C!.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine and tea and alcohol ifyou drink any as these are all B complex thieves!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. as well as being great at dehydrating you!.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together)!. Don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath instructs you to!.
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning!.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them!. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
When you take your daily supplement bear in mind that B12 (part of that complex) needs enough calcium and vitamin D in your body to be effectively assimilated!.!.!.!. cold water fishes such as tuna and salmon are rich in both!.!.!. These cold water fishes are also a rich source of magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) which is probably another thing you may need to focus on as well ~ your stress levels!.!.!.!. stress could also be depleting your B vitamins!. Quite a handfull of information here !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this!.
Other foods rich in calcium are ~ milk and dairy (if you can tolerate them), tofu, sardines, dried beans, kale, broccoli, collard greens, leafy greens!.
Getting enough vitamin D on a daily basis can be as simple as getting 10 - 15 minutes of safe sun exposure daily!.!.!. vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin!.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly!.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet!. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine!.
Keep up drinking loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one!.
Symptoms of dehydration are ~ puffy bags and dark circles under your eyes, headaches and migraines, excessive yawning, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly, digestive troubles such as constipation, bloating and cramping!.
We need at least 2 litres of water per day just to maintain aspiration (to breathe)!! ?
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?
i hope this info helps you a bit mate ?
