As is known, vitamin B12 deficiency is dangerous to human health and can lead to a number of serious problems. Doctors have told how you can determine the lack of this biologically active substance. You can even do this by looking at your eyes.

Vitamin B12 is involved in the production of red blood cells and maintains the health of the nervous system. In the event of a lack of this substance, the ability of cells to deliver oxygen to the body is impaired, which can lead to anemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency primarily occurs due to malnutrition, and it can be determined by the eyes. Its deficiency can manifest itself in yellowing of the eyeball, blurred vision and eye twitching.

First of all, a person should be alerted by blurred vision. It can occur due to damage to the optic nerve. This term is called optic neuropathy in medicine. Squinting usually does not cause pain, but this symptom is one of the first to pay attention to. As for jaundice, it is worth paying attention not only to the change in the color of the eyeball, but also to the yellowness of all skin.

You can fill the B12 deficiency by eating pork, beef and chicken liver, as well as lamb, rabbit meat, eggs, cheese and mackerel. In turn, pharmacists also offer quite effective preparations with this substance.
