News Topical, Digital Desk : Do you not feel like leaving your bed as soon as you wake up in the morning? Do you feel tired, lethargic and irritable throughout the day or do you have trouble remembering even small things?
Why is the absorption of B12 and Iron hampered?
Many of us immediately take antacids when we have heartburn, gas or acidity. These medicines reduce the acid in the stomach, which gives us immediate relief, but this is where we are making a big mistake. Experts say that stomach acid is very important for the proper absorption of vitamin B12 and iron. When we take antacids, it reduces the stomach acid so much that the body is unable to absorb these essential nutrients properly.
Why are Vitamin B12 and Iron important?
Vitamin B12: It is essential for our energy, brain functioning and the health of the nervous system. Its deficiency can cause problems like fatigue, weakness, numbness and loss of memory (Vitamin-B12 Deficiency) .
Iron: It is needed to make red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can cause anemia, which can cause pale skin, shortness of breath, and excessive fatigue (Iron Absorption).
What to do?
If you use antacids regularly and are experiencing the symptoms mentioned above, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor can help you overcome these nutritional deficiencies and find the right treatment for your stomach problems. Use antacids only on the advice of a doctor and avoid taking them for a long time.
