Vitamin B12 for Health

I received an email about the importance of Vitamin B12 in the diet. I found out that it was an online "infomercial." I did decide to do a little research about the B vitamins on my own though. Apparently they are very important for a healthy nervous system, and a deficiency can cause nerve system diseases. It is especially important for pregant women to get these vitamins in order to prevent birth defects in the newborn.

So where does one find these miracle B vitamins. Well some people take supplements. Others eat a well balanced diet that includes foods rich in the B vitamins, such as protein foods, certain fruits, and vegetables. It is very important to get the entire complex of B vitamins and not just a few.
