Treat nerve problems with Neurobion

WITHOUT our nerves, we can’t live. Nerves act like the body’s electrical wiring and connect the brain to every part of the body. They allow us to move and feel.

They even protect the body by transmitting pain, allowing our body to respond to pain by removing the stimulus that causes pain or staying away from it.

Some nerves control vital functions, which take place within the body such as the heartbeat, digestion, breathing, swallowing and perspiration.

If you ever feel tingling or numbness in your hands or feet, you may have nerve problems.

When the nerves become damaged, they are no longer communicating well with the parts they are connected to.

Medically, this is known as neuropathy. The most commonly affected parts are the hands and feet, which have long nerves that may not get sufficient nutrients and therefore carry a higher risk of neuropathy.

Nerve damage symptoms

Besides tingling, “pins and needles” and numbness, the signs also include pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, trouble feeling heat or cold and loss of sensation.

However, some people with nerve damage have no symptoms at Neurobion is clinically proven to nourish the nerve cells, help improve nerve function and relieve nerve pain.

all as these depend on which nerves are affected.

Risks involved

The risk of getting neuropathy or nerve damage increases with factors such as diabetes, ageing, lifestyle choices like alcohol consumption and smoking, traumas like accidents and injuries as well as infections.

They also increase with daily activities and postures that compress the nerves such as prolonged sitting, wearing high heels, repetitive activity like typing and so on. An imbalanced diet can also cause nerve damage, particularly

a lack of vitamin B’s as these are essential for healthy nerves.

If you feel numbness or tingling in your hands and feet, it may mean your nerves are not being properly nourished.

Tips for healthy nerves

There are several things you can do to relieve neuropathy. First of all, you need to have a balanced diet that contains an adequate amount of vitamins B’s. Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are extremely important for healthy nerves.

You can get these vitamins from many food sources.

Vitamin B1 can be found in foods such as whole grains, brown rice, yeast extract and fortified cereals.

You can find vitamin B6 in foods such as tuna, spinach and bananas while you can get vitamin B12 from food sources like eggs, meat, shellfish, milk and dairy products.

All the B vitamins are watersoluble, which means that whatever the body doesn’t use is lost through sweat and urine so they need to be constantly replenished.

If your diet doesn’t contain a sufficient amount of these vitamins, you should take a nutritional supplement to optimise your intake of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 to nourish your nerves.

Lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption and exercising regularly can help too.

Even simple things like wearing comfortable footwear, avoiding prolonged sitting and having correct posture and so on can help prevent nerve damage. If you are diabetic, it is extremely important to control your blood sugar level.

You can help ensure that you consume sufficient vitamins B1, B6 and B12 by taking Neurobion, which contains all these nutrients that are vital for maintaining nerve health.

Known as neurotropic vitamins, they work synergistically with each other in treating or slowing down the progression of neuropathy.

Vitamin B1 strengthens nerves and helps to provide energy for nerves. Vitamin B6 is necessary for the proper transmission of impulses along the nerves and also helps in relieving pain.

Vitamin B12 regenerates nerves, protects nerve cells from damage and is important for overall nerve health.
