00:04More and more people are now embracing vegetarianism.
00:07Some are due to religious beliefs
00:09Some people do it in pursuit of health
00:11There are many benefits to being vegetarian.
00:12I believe everyone can understand.
00:14However, some people have different constitutions.
00:16People who are sensitive to vegan diets
00:19When the body is deficient in a certain nutrient for a long period of time
00:22It may leave irreversible sequelae.
00:25Ms. Chen, a 42-year-old woman from Hangzhou, China
00:28She has maintained a vegan diet for three consecutive years.
00:30I never imagined that one day
00:32After she fell at home and was taken to the hospital
00:34She was actually diagnosed with a spinal cord lesion.
00:36nerve damage
00:37The doctor said this is related to Ms. Chen
00:39Related to a vegan diet over the past three years
00:42How could this happen?
00:43This report mentions
00:44Ms. Chen's vegan diet
00:46Three meals a day mainly consist of green vegetables
00:48Mainly soy products and mushroom products
00:51Completely abstain from meat
00:53Eggs or dairy products
00:54At first, she felt that her skin condition had improved.
00:57Body detoxification is also smooth
00:58There was even a feeling of being emptied out of the body.
01:01But what I didn't expect was...
01:03All of this may just be an illusion.
01:05Ms. Chen began to feel numbness in her toes.
01:08Then my legs went weak.
01:09I often twist my ankle even when walking on flat ground.
01:13She also described
01:14As long as it gets to night
01:15Both legs felt a sharp, stabbing pain.
01:17I have no way to fall asleep
01:19Even worse
01:20One day she was at home
01:22After falling heavily to the ground
01:23Diagnosed with spinal cord lesions
01:25The key lies within Ms. Chen's body.
01:28Severe deficiency of serum vitamin B12
01:31The report quoted a doctor as saying
01:34Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining the human nervous system.
01:37A key protective layer for the normal functioning of the spinal cord
01:40Responsible for transmitting and repairing neural signals
01:42And what about Vitamin B12?
01:44It is also necessary to obtain meat
01:45It can be obtained from foods such as fish, shrimp, eggs, and milk.
01:48Therefore, vegetarians generally have a deficiency.
01:51Vitamin B12 situation
01:53So why did Ms. Chen remain vegan for three years afterward?
01:56That's why this spinal cord lesion occurs.
01:58Doctor's explanation
01:59That's because the human liver stores...
02:01A certain amount of vitamin B12
02:03But it's only enough to last three to five years.
02:06Once the body's vitamin B12
02:08If the inventory is completely depleted
02:09This can lead to severe nerve damage.
02:12Of course, this doesn't mean eating a completely vegetarian diet.
02:14Such problems are bound to occur.
02:16However, according to an article in the Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine,
02:20If spinal cord lesions are detected early...
02:22As long as you find a way to get enough vitamin B12
02:26The condition can still be controlled.
02:28The report also included a reminder.
02:30Vegetarians should prioritize consuming eggs and dairy products.
02:34Avoid choosing only one type of food.
02:36Alternatively, it can be taken long-term.
02:38Health supplements containing vitamin B12
02:41What else?
02:42Regular physical examinations are also necessary every year.
02:44Ensure sufficient serum vitamin B12 in the body
