Thiamine or vitamin B1 is the most important vitamin for nerve health, it acts as an anti-stress agent, and it participates in numerous processes. It's no wonder that this was the first vitamin from the B family to be discovered. Vitamin B1 is water-soluble, so the body cannot store it, making it very important to always have enough of it.

Deficiency of thiamine is found in alcoholics, thin individuals, patients with Crohn's disease, and those who mostly eat carbohydrates. Lack of vitamin B1 manifests as degeneration of peripheral nerves, spinal cord damage, frequent fatigue, irritability, poor memory, sleep disorders, and a bunch of other things.

The usual dose of vitamin B1 is 1.4 mg for women up to 50 years old, and 1.1 mg for older women. You can get this in just a cup of cooked rice or beans. Thiamine is found in bread, potatoes, cabbage, nuts, and fish.

Take care of the whole family of B vitamins.
