How can I increase level of vitamin B12 in my body?

[juhi19]

There is a lot of weakness in my body, when I got the blood test done, I have a lot of deficiency of calcium and vitamin B12, so how can I make up for this deficiency when I do not eat non-veg?

Hi juhi19 ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating group.😀

Has your doctor suggested what food(s)/diet they want you to try/eat? What do you usually eat daily?

if you have deficiencies in calcium and vitamin B12 and do not eat non-veg, here are some ways to make up for these deficiencies:

Calcium:

Consume leafy greens like kale and spinach.

Include nuts and seeds in your diet, such as almonds and chia seeds.

Incorporate calcium-fortified foods like tofu and soy milk.

Consider a calcium supplement after consulting with your doctor.

Vitamin B12:

Consume dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Include eggs in your diet.

Look for B12-fortified foods like breakfast cereals and plant-based milks.

Consider a B12 supplement after consulting with your doctor.

Remember, for severe deficiencies, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
