Drop the Caffeine, Add B-12

If you’re trying to get pregnant, you probably know that you need to kick the caffeine habit. While I love my Diet Coke, I confess the real reason I drink it is because of the energy boost I get from it. I’m considering giving it up for New Year’s and Ive been looking for some alternate ways to get an energy boost.
Vitamin B12 is known as the “energy vitamin,” and it is essential for many critical functions in your body, including energy production, supporting your immune system, and helping to regulate the formation of red blood cells. Recent studies from the US Framingham trial show that one in four adults in the US are deficient in this vitally important nutrient and nearly half of the population has suboptimal blood levels.
Vitamin B12 is present only in animal sources of food and helps folic acid regulate the formation of red blood cells, and helps your body use iron. In addition, it is also needed for proper digestion, food absorption, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It also helps keep your nervous system healthy by assisting the nerves of your body to function and communicate in an optimal manner.
B-12 also helps in cell formation and cellular longevity. Plus, it can support female reproductive health, and promote normal nerve growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths. These fatty sheaths play a vital role as they cover and protect your nerve endings.
If you’re looking to drop a bad habit this year, now is a great time to start.
