Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products.

B12 is generally not present in plant foods. B12 is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin.

Neither fungi, plants nor animals are capable of producing vitamin B12.

Only BACTERIA have the enzymes required for its synthesis.

Many foods are a natural source of B12 because of bacteria symbiosis.

Thus, B12 can be produced industrially only through bacterial fermentation-synthesis.

Soil microbes that live in symbiotic relationships with plant roots produce Vitamin B12.

The B12 in animal products comes from the soil the animal ate.

Fact: Livestock no longer feed on grass and dirt on factory farm because pesticides kill B12 producing bacteria.

90% of B12 supplements produced in the world are fed to livestock.

Uh Oh…. Animal products high in B12 also heighten risk of cancer and heart disease.

Vitamin B12 is a very important nutrient. It is required for proper red blood cell formation

and for the development of the nervous system.

A deficiency of vitamin B12 is a serious nutritional concern,

resulting in anemia and changes in the function of the nervous system.

While milk and eggs contain vitamin B12, no plant food naturally contains the vitamin.

Unless they consume a B12 supplement or foods fortified with B12, a vegan is at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.

If blood levels of vitamin B12 drop below normal values, anemia results.

This may be followed by impairment in cognitive function. In adults typical deficiency symptoms include loss of energy,

tingling in the arms and legs, numbness, reduced sensitivity to pain or pressure, blurred vision, abnormal gait (walk),

weakness and excessive fatigue, sore tongue, poor memory, confusion,

hallucinations, dementia and personality changes.

Many B12 deficiency symptoms may be due to other causes, therefore, it is wise to be examined by a health care provider to

determine the cause of the symptoms.

Infants who are vitamin B12 deficient often display signs of developmental delay or regression both physically and mentally.

These delays may have a long-term consequence on the child, lasting into adulthood.

In the elderly, neuropsychiatric disorders caused from a vitamin B12 deficiency are often irreversible

A baby born to a mother who has been a strict vegetarian or vegan and who has not had reliable sources of vitamin B12

for a number of years is especially at risk.

Unborn babies have a special need for vitamin B12 and a mother deficient in the nutrient may not meet this need.

In addition, the infant may not receive sufficient levels of B12 in breast milk, when breast-fed by a vitamin B12-deficient mother

or a woman whose diet is not adequate in vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency may develop in a breast fed infant

within 3-6 months of age.

A child with a vitamin B12 deficiency may become apathetic (droopy), lethargic (tired), and experience failure to thrive.

Yes. Common risk factors for low vitamin B12 levels in older adults include:

Low levels of stomach acid, which can be due to weakening of the stomach lining,

or to medications that reduce stomach acid as well as a drop in the digestive enzyme pepsin.

See image...

As a result, digestion of vitamin B12 from protein is diminished, inhibiting the amount of B12 available for absorption.

Any problem that causes poor absorption in the stomach or small intestine, such as Crohn's disease.

People over 50 years of age may show neurological changes due to vitamin B12 deficiency.

It is believed that a considerable number of elderly patients have neuropsychiatric disorders due to vitamin B12 deficiency.

Since the liver does store extra vitamin B12, and the body has a recycling process for B12,

it may take an adult 3-10 years to develop a deficiency once intake of the nutrient has ceased.

If one's past vitamin B12 intake has been very low, a deficiency may manifest

itself in much less than 3 years after cessation of intake.

You MUST be sure you are getting the amount of B-12 you need if you eat a plant-strong diet.

Fortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency can easily be prevented.

Vitamin B12 can be found in fortified foods, like certain cereals, soy milk, and nutritional yeast.

Only about 2 ½ micrograms (mcg) of vitamin B12 is required per day.

A cup of milk has about 1 microgram of B12, while a cup of soy or rice milk contains from 1 to 3 micrograms,

A serving of B12-fortified commercial cereal has 1.5 micrograms.

Vegetarian or vegan meat analogs that are fortified may contain anywhere from 1 to 6 micrograms of vitamin B12.

Vegetarian or vegan meat analogs that are fortified may contain anywhere from 1 to 6 micrograms of vitamin B12.

More and more vegetarian and vegan foods are being fortified with B12,

but it is imperative that one read the food label, as fortification levels may change from time to time.

Yet, the simplest and most reliable way to ensure you get an adequate amount of B12 is to take an oral supplement.

The usual dose for the average person is 250 micrograms a day or 2,500 micrograms a week.

I personally take a weekly, as opposed to a daily, supplement out of convenience, but either option is OK.

If you are not sure if you are getting enough or getting too much, you can always see your doctor to get your levels checked.

Milk, yogurt and cheese, along with eggs, are the only vegetarian food items that naturally contain significant levels of vitamin B12.

Plant foods may be fortified with B12. These include rice and soy beverages, plant-derived

meat analogs, ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, and nutritional yeast.

It is important to read the labels for these foods as not all products and brands have B12 fortification,

and the amount of fortification can change with time.

While claims are made for tempeh, miso, and other fermented soy products, as well as

spirulina, some seaweeds, brewers yeast, and leafy vegetables, these foods do not contain any significant level of vitamin B12.

There are only two reliable sources of vitamin B12 for vegans: foods fortified with this nutrient which includes nutritional yeast

grown on a B12-rich medium and supplements.

Yes. The bacteria in our colon make vitamin B12.

However, the absorption of B12 takes place higher up in the gastrointestinal tract, near the end of the small intestine.

Therefore, it is unavailable for use in the body.

Since the body has a limited capacity for absorption,

there is really no reason to ingest more than 10 to 50 micrograms of vitamin B12 supplement per day.

Larger amounts are very poorly absorbed and wasted.

For effective absorption, a B12 tablet must be dissolved under the tongue or chewed.

B12 capsules normally dissolve in the gastrointestinal tract and are readily absorbed.

Sub-lingual B12 sprays are also a useful source of B12.

How to Stay Hydrated: Here's Everything You Need to Know - Duration: 10:18.

Water is a necessary ingredient for human survival

to say nothing of optimal physical and mental performance.

Now if you're watching this, it means that you are alive

which means that you are at least getting the bare minimum.

But are you drinking enough water?

For years we've been told from many many sources

that we are constantly dehydrated

and that if we want our bodies to work optimally,

we need to get our eight glasses a day.

And some people think that eight glasses

actually isn't enough.

They go further saying you need three or four liters.

And others say that the timing is crucial.

You need to spread out your water drinking

over each hour of the day, which come to think of it, oh no!

(suspense music)

(exhales forcefully) Okay, I'm not gonna die now.

But all jokes aside, do you really need

to be drinking eight glasses of water a day?

Or to ask the more general question

that you probably have in the back of your mind,

how do you really know if you're hydrated

and how do you make sure

that you stay hydrated on a daily basis?

Well, after far more time than I initially expected

to spend researching for this video,

I hope to answer those questions for you today.

Here is everything that you need to know about hydration.

Let's start with the common assertion

that you need to be drinking eight glasses of water per day.

This idea has been out in the wild for decades

with many believing the original source to be a 1945 notice

put out by the Food and Nutrition Board

which recommended that people get about

two and a half liters of water per day.

From there, the idea spread and entered

the general consciousness, becoming the mantra

of many a nutritional food blogger and gym teacher.

Unfortunately, what seems to have been left out

is the very next sentence in that recommendation.

Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.

This puts quite the damper on the idea

that you need to be gulping down

two and a half liters of water every single day.

And more importantly, no scientific evidence has come out

in defense of that idea in the intervening decades.

In 2002, an extensive research review published

in the American Journal of Physiology concluded as much.

And interestingly, it also noted that,

"This conclusion is supported by published studies

"showing that caffeinated drinks, and, to a lesser extent,

"alcoholic beverages like beer in moderation,

"may indeed be counted toward the daily total."

As that notice from 1945 points out,

solid food counts toward the total as well,

though the Mayo Clinic states that it's around

20% of the total rather than being most of it.

And of course, that amount's gonna vary based on your diet.

If you eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits,

which at the end of the day are mostly water,

then that total's gonna be a little bit higher.

But if you're like me and your breakfast consists

of a bowl of nails and 6,000 push-ups,

then you're probably gonna be leaning

a little bit heavier on the beverages.

So if you don't need eight glasses of water a day,

how much do you need?

Well, as you might expect, the answer is it depends.

Your body's individual hydration needs vary

based on different factors like age, weight, gender,

environmental factors like altitude, temperature,

your proximity to certain Dragonball Z villains,

and of course, your level of physical activity.

Luckily, your conscious brain doesn't have to worry about

meticulously tracking any of these factors because,

as it turns out, your body already has built-in mechanisms

for maintaining an optimal fluid balance automatically.

For instance, when your body detects

that it's a little bit low on fluids,

it releases an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin

which increases water absorption in the kidneys

and returns it back to the bloodstream

to restore that balance.

When that isn't enough, you body brings the issue

to your attention by making you thirsty

to which you're almost certainly going to respond

by drinking something if you can.

There's no meticulous timing or spreadsheets or measurements

or rolling 20-sided die needed and this makes sense.

Until very recently, the human body,

and almost all land-dwelling animals for that matter,

have had to evolve and adapt in an environment

where there was no guarantee to regular access to water

so systems for maintaining a good fluid balance,

even in the dry times, were a necessity.

So to put things simply, yes, you need water to survive

and you need even more to perform at your peak

but your body will tell you how much and when to drink it.

So follow the thirst rule.

When your body tells you you're thirsty,

go and drink something to quench that thirst, very simple.

Now if you really want to double check your hydration,

one easy way to do it is by

checking the color of your urine.

If it's light yellow, then that means

you're hydrated, you're good to go.

Solid yellow or dark yellow means you're dehydrated,

you should probably drink some water.

And blue means you're an escaped government experiment.

Now at least in terms of hydration, the one other thing

you need to survive is a healthy balance of electrolytes.

What are electrolytes?

- It's what they use to make Brawndo!

- In general terms, an electrolyte is any substance

that conducts electricity when mixed with water.

But within the human body, electrolytes

are essentially rocks or minerals.

They do everything from regulating the function

of your nerves and muscles to balancing your blood pressure.

They're also essential for hydrating the body.

Without them, water would have no way

to get into your bloodstream and cells.

It would just pass through you like you were a tube slide.

A really dead tube slide.

Some of the most important electrolytes in your body

include sodium, potassium, calcium, adamantium, magnesium,

and guess what, that's right,

you don't have to meticulously track these either.

As long as you're eating enough

and you follow a relatively balanced diet

that consists of more than just chicken tenders

and Tinder rejections then you get

all the electrolytes you need from your normal meals.

And this means that even if you exercise regularly,

even if you're hitting the gym,

even if you're going for runs or fighting bears,

you have no need for the supposed

electrolyte benefits of sports drinks.

Sure, maybe chugging a quart of Brawndo before a workout

will make you feel more energetic

but that's mostly due to the buttload of sugar that's in it.

And I will remind you that buttload is a technical term.

Okay, so now it's time to talk about the exceptions

because there are always exceptions.

So here's the thing.

For 99% of the people watching this video, the vast majority

of my audience, the thirst rule is all you need to follow.

And honestly, I probably don't even need to talk about

the 0.1%, it's probably gonna kill my YouTube watch time

but I want to be thorough, so who falls into that 0.1%?

First and most importantly, people with certain types

of illnesses are susceptible to dehydration.

For a particularly disgusting example, if you have diarrhea,

you could start losing a lot of fluid really really fast.

And other illnesses can cause rapid dehydration as well

which is why hospitals carry oral rehydration solutions

that are specifically formulated

to rehydrate you as quickly as possible.

So if you're sick and you are,

for lack of a better term, expelling a lot of fluids,

then listen to your doctor when it comes to hydration.

Don't listen to me because while I am from the internet

and I have heard that means I cannot tell any lies,

I'm not a doctor.

The other exception is a very specific group of athletes.

Now as the author Mark Sisson points out in his book,

"The Primal Blueprint", many athletes who train intensely

on a regular basis can often come into training sessions

slightly dehydrated and because they're working so hard,

they're thirst response can't really keep up

and that can lead to decreased performance.

That being said, most athletes tend to drink

a lot of water while they're training.

It's just something that's been

kind of drilled into our heads.

So that isn't really the risk here.

For a specific group of athletes, for marathoners,

for endurance athletes, triathletes, cyclists, people

who are out training for a really long period of time,

the risk is actually hyponatremia, or water intoxication,

which is a dangerous dilution

of the sodium concentration in your bloodstream.

This is a potentially deadly condition

that's caused by overhydration by drinking too much water

which is something that a lot endurance athletes

if they're out running for a long time

or out on the bike for a long time can do unconsciously.

In fact, an observation of the participants

in the 2002 Boston Marathon found that 13% of the runners

tested after the race had hyponatremia.

Now I'm not gonna go too far into this because, like I said,

99% of you are not gonna be at risk for this

and it's really only a factor if you're out training

for a really long period of time.

But if you do want to learn more about this problem,

Tim Noakes' book "Waterlogged" has lots more information

about it and I'm assured many charts and graphs

and data to sink your teeth into.

Alright, so we have all of our science bases covered

and with that, I want to move onto one little

anecdotal problem that I have observed in my own life,

which I'm gonna call flow state dehydration.

So we talked about the thirst rule but here's the thing.

I'm the kind of guy who gets really into the work

that I'm doing, like laser focused, in the zone,

in the flow state and when I'm researching for a video

or I'm editing something, I can work for hours and hours

without eating or drinking sometimes.

Now on occasion, I have noticed that this has resulted

in mild dehydration and I try to fix that.

But more often, when I actually come out of that flow state

and I realize that I'm thirsty, I'll typically want to reach

for something a little more novel and interesting

than plain old water, like coffee or orange juice.

Now as I mentioned in my previous video

about coffee and dehydration,

I don't think there's a problem

with having a single daily cup of coffee

or having a morning glass of orange juice.

But it becomes a problem when I get ultra-focused

on my work, I let my discipline slip

and then I go and drink three lattes

instead of switching to water after the first one.

As a result, I've got a single simple goal

for myself every single day.

I've got this 27-inch stainless steel

water bottle and once per day,

I need to drink this thing in its entirety.

That plus all the coffee and tea and orange juice I drink

keeps me well-hydrated and ensures

that a lot of that hydration is coming from water.

And on a related note, I always make sure

the backpacks I buy have a water bottle holder on the side

otherwise I don't really have a good way

of bringing my water bottle with me when I go work somewhere

and that, again, leads to more

lattes purchased than necessary.

So those couple of little hacks work perfectly for me

but if you do happen to want to track your water intake

for some reason, yes,

there are water tracking apps out there

but a lot of them adhere to that

eight glasses per day standard

which we've kind of refuted in this video

so I don't really feel the need to link to these.

And what I think would be more useful anyway

is to use a more general purpose habit tracker

like Habitica which is my favorite or maybe Momentum

each of which would allow you

to also track other goals in your life.

But to wrap this up, optimal good hydration

can be had by following three simple rules.

Number one, the thirst rule.

When you're thirsty, drink something hydrating.

Number two, make sure you're eating a balanced diet

with plenty of vegetable and fruits

and high quality protein sources

to ensure your body gets all the electrolytes it needs

and you don't turn into that really dead tube slide.

And finally, number three, be vigilant about noticing

when you're starting to replace your water consumption

with a lot of less healthy drinks and when that happens,

take action to change your habits.

That's it, seriously.

Now I will let you be the judge

about how smooth this final product came out

but I will tell you the research that went into this video

is far more complicated than I had initially anticipated

and there are a lot of sources to this.

So if you're curious to learn more or you want to check out

the sources that I used to make this video,

I highly recommend checking out the companion article

that I've written which I'll link in the description

Hailee Steinfeld is ready to live it up in 2018! After arriving at the Grammy Awards in New York City, the Pitch Perfect star was asked if fans can expect more new music or more movie rolls in the coming months.

Her answer may surprise you. It goes back and forth so Im incredibly lucky that I get to do both.

I get to spend enough time with one thats enough to get me to go to the other for a while, Hailee told Ryan Seacrest on Live From the Red Carpet. Right now, the focus is music.

I plan on having an album out this year that Im very excited about and I feel honored to be a part of tonight. In fact, the voice behind big hits including Love Myself and Most Girls is hitting the road this summer with Charlie Puth.

When asked what fans can expect, Hailee teased that new music will likely be heard on the tour.   The new music is being worked on so that will dictate the show, she shared with fans.

Im very much looking forward to what that will be. And for those who love seeing Hailee on the big screen including roles in True Grit and The Edge of Seventeen, the 21-year-old assures fans that shes not done acting just yet.

As of right now, in terms of the movies, nothing is set in stone, Hailee shared. I recently bought myself a camera and I downloaded Final Cut and figured out how to edit.

I love the idea of really sharing the real behind the scenes and what goes down. Find out if Hailee and Charlie are heading to your city here.
