Vitamin B1 Video Description:Thiamine, aka Vitamin B1, keeps your body fully functioning and ready to move! Transcript:Even if you’re the world’s biggest couch potato, you still leave the couch on occasion. And you can thank your supply of Vitamin B1 for that! Vitamin B1 goes by the alias thiamine, but your body pretty much just calls it “energy.” That’s because B1 is vital in the process that changes calories from carbohydrates into useable energy in your body. B1 also works in your nervous system to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle movement. A deficiency in Vitamin B1 is rare, but can lead to anemia, muscular atrophy, and paralysis when it does occur. Get all the B1 you need by consuming lots of whole grains, leafy veggies, egg yolks, and lean meat, like pork chops. Women need 1.1 milligrams of Vitamin B1 daily, while men require 1.5 milligrams. Getting enough ensures that you can get off the couch…you know, in case the power goes out or something.
