Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Symptoms include numbness or tingling in the legs

“This can happen if you do not eat enough foods that contain vitamin B12 and folic acid, or if your body has problems absorbing or processing these vitamins.

“Without these nutrients, the body produces red blood cells that are too large and do not work properly.

“It reduces their ability to carry oxygen.”

It is important to tackle the deficit as soon as possible.
