Thiamine
Besides aiding in bolstering the metabolism,
maintaining healthy skin, and promoting cell growth
and division, the health benefits of the Vitamin
B1 are endless, and it is thus a good idea to

some of the prominent benefits which Vitamin B1
can offer to one's health is the following
- Plays an important role in converting carbohydrates
and fat into energy
- Is essential for normal growth and development
- Helps maintain proper functioning of the heart
as well as nervous and digestive systems
Where can Vitamin B1 Thiamine be found?
Vitamin B1 Thiamine is to be found in a number
of natural sources which include:
- green peas
- spinach
- liver

Vitamin B1 Deficiencies
Not getting enough Vitamin B1 Thiamine can lead
to disastrous effects on the body, often leading
to irreversible syndromes. Such syndromes caused
by a Vitamin B1 deficiency are common among alcohol-abusers
and include the likes of beriberi and Warnicke-Korsakoff
syndrome. Hence, a deficiency in Thiamine is dangerous
and can lead to problems such as neurodegeneration,
wasting, and death. A Vitamin B1 deficiency can
be caused by malnutrition, a diet rich in foods
such as raw shellfish and freshwater fish, and
ferns, as well as tea, coffee, and betel nuts.
