To B or not to B when it comes to dementia(part 10)
Here are some final thoughts about Vitamin B6 and dementia.
We were discussing that certain medications decrease how much Vitamin B6 is absorbed.
Therefore it is necessary that you ask your doctor, if any medication you are on affects how much Vitamin B6 your body absorbs. Find out if you need to take a supplement temporarily while taking other medications.
Most people over 50 need 1.7 micrograms of Vitamin B6 a day. Over 200 micrograms a day can be toxic.
So eat foods on the list in a previous post. Take a supplement if you do not like or cannot tolerate these foods. Do more research on the amount of Vitamin B6 in your favorite foods. Stay away from junk foods. And eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day.
Visit this blog again real soon to find out because there is………….
more to come.
