Could Burning Feet Be Due to Thiamine Deficiency
The importance of B vitamins, specifically thiamine (B1) is the focus of this episode. Thiamine plays a crucial role in converting food into energy and is involved in various bodily functions. Thiamine deficiency can lead to cardiovascular, muscular, gastrointestinal, and nerve system issues, as well as cataracts and neuropathy. Chronic alcohol consumers, diabetics, and patients with congestive heart failure or on hemodialysis are at risk for thiamine deficiency. The recommended daily allowance for thiamine varies based on age and gender, and it can be obtained from sources like lentils, brown rice, and lean pork. Supplementation with thiamine is also discussed, along with the severe consequences of thiamine deficiency, such as beriberi and cognitive impairment in alcoholics.
