Tremors are involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions that cause shaking or trembling. The video script suggests that tremors can be a sign of vitamin B1 deficiency, linking this symptom to the broader theme of how this nutrient is crucial for proper nerve and muscle function.

💡Anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. The video discusses anxiety as a potential result of vitamin B1 deficiency, highlighting the connection between this nutrient and mental health. It explains that a deficiency can lead to a constant state of worry and problem-solving, which is a significant aspect of the video's message about the importance of B1 for overall well-being.

💡ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The video script mentions ADHD as a condition that can be exacerbated by a lack of vitamin B1, emphasizing the role of this vitamin in cognitive function and attention.

💡OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition where a person has recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). The video script includes OCD as a potential consequence of severe vitamin B1 deficiency, illustrating the video's broader point about the impact of this deficiency on mental health.

💡Lactic Acid Buildup

Lactic acid buildup occurs when lactic acid, a byproduct of muscle activity, accumulates in the body faster than it can be removed. The video script describes lactic acid buildup as a symptom of vitamin B1 deficiency, explaining that this can lead to issues like restless leg syndrome and difficulty breathing, which are directly linked to the video's theme of the wide-ranging effects of B1 deficiency.

💡Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is a type of nerve disorder in which the peripheral nerves (the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord) are damaged or dysfunctional. The video script uses the term 'burning feet' to describe a symptom of peripheral neuropathy, which can result from a vitamin B1 deficiency. This keyword is crucial for understanding the video's discussion of how this deficiency can affect the nervous system.

💡Autonomic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system is a part of the nervous system that acts as a control system governing involuntary bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.

today we're going to talk about the

play00:00

number one vitamin deficiency behind

play00:03

most nerve problems let's see if you can

play00:06

guess in the comments down below let's

play00:08

start with this one right here nerve

play00:09

pain okay like sciatic pain pain down

play00:12

the back of the leg or maybe even pain

play00:14

down the arm where it comes to the neck

play00:17

we also have Tremors if you have Tremors

play00:20

there's usually a deficiency of this one

play00:22

vitamin anxiety the feeling of Doom or

play00:26

something bad is going to happen you're

play00:28

constantly solving problems right that's

play00:30

coming from a deficiency of a certain

play00:32

vitamin ADHD attention deficit

play00:35

hyperactivity disorder or Attention

play00:38

Deficit Disorder so you're not going to

play00:40

have very much attention you're going to

play00:41

be kind of distracted all over the place

play00:43

it's hard to get something done it's

play00:45

hard to focus you have a lot of project

play00:47

you started but you can't seem to

play00:48

complete them OCD this is a compulsive

play00:51

disorder which a lot of people have or

play00:54

even psychosis the more deficient you

play00:56

are with this one nutrient the more

play00:59

severe

play01:00

the mental issues are going to be okay

play01:03

then we have the racing mind right

play01:05

before bed and this is really going to

play01:07

keep you from going into a wonderful

play01:09

sleep so you usually have insomnia it

play01:11

takes you a long time to get to bed

play01:13

because you're constantly thinking and

play01:15

you can't turn it off then you can have

play01:17

something called lactic acid buildup

play01:19

restless leg syndrome I had this for a

play01:22

long time many years ago I had to

play01:24

literally wake up in the middle of the

play01:26

night and pound my legs because I had so

play01:27

much lactic acid building up in my legs

play01:31

lactic acid also affects your oxygen so

play01:33

you're going to have air hunger so it's

play01:35

going to be hard to breathe and get

play01:38

enough air and you'll have low tolerance

play01:41

to exercise burning feet now this has to

play01:44

do with a term called peripheral

play01:46

neuropathy because the nerves especially

play01:49

in the bottom of your feet are

play01:50

surrounded with a coating called myin so

play01:54

this deficiency of this certain nutrient

play01:57

is going to create a breakdown of the

play01:59

myin or coding or protective layer

play02:01

around the nervous system and you're

play02:04

going to start at Short Circuit that

play02:05

nerve and one big symptom is burning

play02:08

feet but it can also be numbness or any

play02:11

type of weird sensation that's called

play02:13

paresthesia in the bottom of the feet

play02:15

can happen in your hands as well it's

play02:18

usually related to diabetes but it can

play02:20

also come from many other things and

play02:22

then we have something called the

play02:23

autonomic nervous system that's the

play02:25

system that works on automatic there's

play02:26

two types you have the flight or fight

play02:30

mechanism which is the sympathetic

play02:31

nervous system and then you also have

play02:32

the other system which is called

play02:34

parasympathetic that's rest and digest

play02:37

so if you have the problem with the

play02:38

autonomic nervous system you're going to

play02:39

find that your gastrointestinal system

play02:42

could be slower you could also have a

play02:44

problem with the valves on the top of

play02:47

the stomach and get acid reflex there

play02:50

could be a lot of problems with your

play02:52

valves including the heart valves and

play02:54

even the heart rate itself can be too

play02:57

high or too low with this deficiency

play03:01

vertigo there's these little hairs on

play03:03

the inside of your ear that can be

play03:05

affected by this deficiency and you can

play03:08

have you know dizziness and vertigo like

play03:10

you're spinning and because the retina

play03:13

is an extension of your brain it's a

play03:14

nerve you can also have vision problems

play03:17

especially if you have diabetes did you

play03:20

guess what the deficiency

play03:22

is B1 deficiency without getting into

play03:26

the woods of what we're looking at here

play03:28

this is chemical reaction that happen

play03:30

inside your cells this thing right here

play03:33

is where you make energy the sugar that

play03:36

is entering in from your diet comes

play03:38

along through here and in order for it

play03:40

to get from here into this machine it's

play03:43

like a motor it has to go through this

play03:45

enzyme right here this enzyme step

play03:48

requires vitamin B1 so if you consume

play03:52

carbohydrate glucose sugar that's in a

play03:56

refined form without B1 then your body

play04:01

cannot use that glucose unless it pulls

play04:05

from other places so when you consume

play04:08

refined carbohydrates you are depleting

play04:11

a tremendous amount of B1 and so you can

play04:14

get this thing to work and create energy

play04:16

so if you keep eating this refined sugar

play04:18

as in junk food alter processed calories

play04:21

you're going to end up not having enough

play04:23

B1 to use that carbohydrate and that's

play04:27

where you get the buildup of lactic acid

play04:30

the lack of fuel that's going to be

play04:31

fatigue and the dysfunction of all the

play04:34

other organs and the related symptoms

play04:37

now I'm going to get into some other

play04:38

things that actually create a vitamin B1

play04:41

deficiency this is the big one alcohol

play04:43

when you drink alcohol you're very

play04:46

vulnerable to a B1 deficiency I mean

play04:49

even if you drink a little bit of

play04:50

alcohol and you wake up in the morning

play04:51

with a hangover if you took some B1

play04:54

you'll feel less of a hangover okay so

play04:56

we have alcohol we also have refined

play04:59

carbohy hydrates I already mentioned

play05:00

that as in sugar and starches I'm

play05:04

talking about things like modified food

play05:06

starch

play05:07

maltodextrin flour grains refined grains

play05:11

things like that then we have just being

play05:14

a diabetic when you have a lot more

play05:15

sugar in your blood that's going to

play05:17

create more of a vitamin B1 deficiency

play05:20

this is why a lot of diabetics have

play05:22

nerve problems that relate to the bottom

play05:25

of the feet the hands the eyes and other

play05:30

related uh problems especially with the

play05:32

autonomic nervous system and then of

play05:34

course we have stress The more stress

play05:36

you have on a chronic basis the more

play05:38

you're going to deplete B1 because like

play05:40

I said before B1 deficiency is related

play05:42

to anxiety a lot of mental thinking Etc

play05:46

so this is why when you give someone

play05:48

some B1 and they're in this nervous

play05:50

tension state within minutes they feel

play05:52

relaxed they can finally calm down they

play05:54

can breathe better the type of B vitamin

play05:56

I would recommend would be a natural

play05:58

source nutritional yeast either you know

play06:01

put some on your salad or even get them

play06:03

in little tablets other things that can

play06:05

create a deficiency caffeinated tea if

play06:08

you're just drinking a little bit of tea

play06:09

here and there it's not going to be an

play06:10

issue but if you're a chronic tea

play06:12

drinker and you drink a lot of tea well

play06:14

you better make sure you take more B1

play06:17

also raw fish can create a B1 deficiency

play06:20

sulfites where do you get sulfites wine

play06:24

also preservatives in dried fruit it's

play06:27

basically a preservative but it

play06:28

definitely will deplete your B1 ftic

play06:30

acid is in a lot of the grains the whole

play06:33

grains all these grains that people tell

play06:35

you to consume that are so-called

play06:37

healthy for you they have phytic acid

play06:39

they can deplete minerals and certain

play06:43

vitamins like B1 also certain

play06:45

antibiotics can create a B1 deficiency

play06:48

as well so I hope you have a greater

play06:50

understanding and awareness about this

play06:51

B1 deficiency it's very very uh

play06:54

widespread with so many people and if

play06:56

you haven't seen this video yet that

play06:58

talks more about one I put it up right

play07:00
