According to a new study published in the latest issue of Neurology, the lack of vitamin B12 does not cause a violation of the performance of cognitive functions by the brain, but it can cause serious memory problems, according to the Internet publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. Net The theory was formulated, according to which B12 is necessary for the so-called myelin sheath - a special insulating layer located around the nerves. When this vitamin does not enter the body in sufficient quantity, this layer begins to be damaged, as a result of which the impulses are transmitted through the nervous system much more slowly.

Weaker impulses usually remain in the brain for significantly less time - experts say. The study analyzed the condition of 121 elderly patients to a greater or lesser extent having memory problems. As a result, scientists came to the conclusion that if such substances as homocysteine ??or folic acid according to modern ideas significantly affect the function of thinking, the speed of reaction and decision-making, then vitamin B12 with its regular use can significantly improve a person's ability to remember, and also To avoid sclerosis with age.

In general, scientists are convinced that the useful properties of this vitamin are extremely wide, since it has already been shown that it has a pronounced protective effect on our brain and nervous system.

In particular, their presence is confirmed by another study carried out relatively recently. In his trial, scientists were convinced that vitamin B12 helps a person with age to avoid Alzheimer's disease. And the deficiency of this vitamin in the body in itself can not in any way stimulate the development of the disease. However, if his body is sufficient, then for the brain it will become an additional protection, and it is still unknown how many different diseases.
