As a coenzyme in various metabolic processes, such as protein and fat metabolism involved in the body. The hook: It is not necessary for life, and the man may not even make it.

It is particularly important that Vitamin B12 remodels the unfavorable homocysteine. This amino acid damages blood vessels, promotes atherosclerosis and therefore heart attack and stroke. Anyone who takes in too little Vitamin B12, increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, and dementia.

Vegans do not, therefore, have a bad Vitamin-B12-cards, because it is used as a single Vitamin in fruits and vegetables. Instead, the following foods will help to meet the needs of: meat, fish, dairy products, eggs. Sauerkraut and seaweed do not provide, in contrast to what many believe, for a long time, the relevant quantities.

Also long-chain fatty acids, which the body mainly from fish, is a lack of vegans, often – as in the case of Yovana Mendoza. Therefore, nutrition experts, all who want to live vegan rates, regularly check your Vitamin and nutrient supply to check. The only way severe health problems prevent.
