Mr. Chen, 80, fainted and went to the hospital for medical treatment because of his weak body. It turned out that he was suspected of having poor stomach recently, so he didn't eat much, which caused his physical weakness. During his hospitalization, he only wanted to eat one-third of the bowl of white porridge. The nutritionist suggested that the old man could break up and mix various foods such as vegetables and meat into the dilute meals to allow the old man to replenish his nutrition. Unexpectedly, the old man said that if he let the old man eat some vitamin B group and comprehensive vitamins, he would be energetic?

Many people think that as long as the vitamin B group is supplemented, they can enhance their physical strength, but they ignore the heat that maintains basic physiological functions. The so-called heat comes from the three major nutrients "carbohydrates, proteins, and fats". Taking the above-mentioned case of Mr. Chen, he basically lacks the amount of heat he consumes. He does not give the body the heat he needs, and no matter how much vitamin B group he supplements, he will not be physically energetic and energetic!

In fact, it is not easy for Chinese to lack vitamin B group

Many people have bad habits, such as eating, staying up late, and running out of their lives.

When the diet is normal and the vitamin B group is fully consumed, it can effectively support three major nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and fat to produce energy.

Only when there are special circumstances, group B is widely present in many foods. Therefore, if you eat normally, there will be group B deficiency, unless you are a person who is particularly picky in food, or stay up late or work too tired, etc., which will cause a temporary lack of group B. In addition, among the vitamin B group, B12, tobacco acid, pantothenic acid and biotin are enzymes that are particularly related to heat reproduction.

Others such as the elderly or aging of the stomach tract and gastric juice deficiency, due to the lack of intrinsic factor (IF), it can also affect the absorption of vitamin B12; alcoholism, gastrointestinal surgery, as well as patients with poor liver function and kidney washing, etc., are also prone to problems with vitamin deficiency.
