Numbness in the hands, feet and other parts of the body
Numbness is a feeling of slight paralysis that affects some or all of the limbs. When they are passengers, they are not dangerous. However, repetitively, it may indicate a deficiency of vitamins B5, B6, B12, potassium and calcium. These vitamins contribute to the proper functioning of the nervous system, in particular the peripheral nerves, to prevent this type of sensation. In addition, it may also indicate cramps, fatigue or muscle weakness.
It is therefore advisable to pay attention to one’s diet and to promote the consumption of group B vitamin-rich foods, such as spinach, beet, asparagus, crustaceans and sunflower seeds.
To prevent health problems, ensure a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, not to mention regular physical activity.
