In 60+ year old people, muscle strength and physical activity independently predicted performance in a cognitive test.
Our paper is out (FREEEE)!
IMO, it's a pretty big deal and changes how we think about muscle, the brain, and human health.
Lead author @krististors describes it well and I'll be doing an IG Live with @DrRagnar next week.
Quickly; we present STRONG evidence that physical strength is a direct predictor of cognitive function in the general population. Also, many people in these large databases have no link between how much muscle they have and how much they exercise (meaning not all muscle is created or equal)....

Ради недостаток на Б12 може да се појават сите овие симптоми 😱
What could be the common link between the following clinical situations (all are real cases from my clinical practice):
1. 25-year old airhostess with rapid decline in memory and higher cognitive functions of 6 months duration (suggestive of #dementia),
2. 35-year old man with two weeks history of tremors, slowness of movements and rigidity (mimicking #Parkinsons disease),
3. 22-year old man with repeated #seizures (fits), which was difficult to control with anti-epileptic drugs,
4. 18-year old with features of #anxiety, #depression and #panic attacks of one year duration (had only partial relief with anti-depressants),
5. 30-year old lady with frank #psychosis (hallucinations, delusions) of six months duration,
6. 18-year old girl with 6-month history of tinnitus and #hearing impairment, which was getting worse over time,
7. Blurring of #vision and poor vision in a 22-year old man,
8. Burning, tingling and numbness of hands and feet for one year in a 28-year old man,
9. Hyperpigmentation (darker discoloration) of skin over hands and feet,
10. Generalized weakness, fatigue and breathlessness on exertion in a 25-year old woman (hemoglobin of 8 gm%)
Many of you would have correctly guessed it by now: All these clinical symptoms were caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.
You would be happy to note that they all improved with treatment.
The key to a good outcome in vitamin B12-deficiency related diseases is early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment.
Treatment should consist of vitamin B12 injections to start with, and following it up with maintenance doses of vitamin B12 tablets.
Vegetarians are at a higher risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency, as there are no good sources of vitamin B12 among vegetarian foods.
It should be noted that non-vegetarians are not immune to developing vitamin B12 deficiency. This is because many of them have antibodies in gut that significantly reduce vitamin B12 absorption.
I hope you found it useful. Please share your experiences, comments or queries.

Vitamin D intake could reduce cancer mortality in the population by 12% if taken daily. This was the result of an evaluation of 14 studies of the highest quality conducted at the German Cancer Research Center with a total of almost 105,000 participants.

The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors.

The analysis also showed that the more rigorous the study, the more positive and consistent the relation between meat consumption and better mental health.
