4:22 am	The Cause And Its Symptoms Vitamin B12 deficiency is mainly caused by the poor absorption of the vitamin in the gut. Vitamin supplements are then prescribed to correct shortage. If a person stops taking the supplements then B12 levels will likely fall again. Another cause for the lack of B12 in the body is poor consumption. Since vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria in the ground, animals that graze absorb the bacteria and people who eat animal products in turn also absorb the vitamin. This means that there are people who do not eat enough foods rich in vitamin B12. People who have celiac disease also have problems in the absorption of this vitamin due to the damage to their bowel. Other causes such as bacterial infection in the bowel will also require a person to undergo B12 deficiency treatment. People who are deficient in vitamin B12 are in danger of developing vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. During the early stages of this illness, symptoms can be mild. But as the disease progresses so will the severity of the symptoms. The following symptoms are most common in people who have vitamin B12 deficiency: weakness or lightheadedness, pale skin, sore tongue, bleeding gums, upset stomach, weight loss and diarrhea or constipation. If the deficiency goes unchecked then damage to the nervous system can occur. Once this happens symptoms such as tingling or numbness in the feet or toes, difficulty walking, mood changes or depression and memory loss or dementia can be experienced by the individual.

5:57 pm	Vitamin B12 Deficiency Treatment Options There are various ways to administer a B12 supplement. The supplement is available in two pill forms: oral and sublingual (under the tongue). It can also be ingested as a liquid. Additionally, vitamin B12 supplements come in the form of strips, nasal sprays and skin patches. These supplement options are available in combination with other vitamins or solely as B12. Perhaps the most effective form of treatment is the B12 injection. The pill form of the vitamin doesn’t significantly increase B12 stores because it is water soluble. An injection ensures maximum absorption. It can be administered two ways: directly into the muscle or subcutaneously (into the subcutis layer of skin). Reserves of B12 are partially replenished after a mere six doses within a few weeks and fully restored after about 20 injections. Unfortunately, monthly doses are necessary to maintain the optimum level of B12. If you can tolerate the procedure, do-it-yourself injections at home are an option. The dose of B12 is easily administered by the patient, similar to insulin for diabetic patients. However, there is a perk to all the poking. A new trend features B12 injections for weight loss. Proponents of this weight loss method claim these injections give you more energy. Increased energy helps facilitate physical activity and motivates individuals to continue their dieting efforts. Also, increasing your B12 reserve boosts metabolism, which, in turn, helps shed unwanted weight. Lastly, B12 helps fight depression and reduces stress, two major factors in weight gain.

12:11 am	How to Choose the Ideal Corntoss Boards What would you do when it’s summertime, the weather is perfect, and all of your cousins are bored out of their wits inside your living room? Go outdoors and have fun! At times like this, playing Corntoss would be perfect. This day would probably become one of the most memorable parts of their lives. Corntoss, or more popularly known as Cornhole is an outdoor game that involves throwing bags made of duck cloth and corn at a hole in a wooden or plastic platform called Corntoss boards or Cornhole boards. This game, which is quite similar to horseshoes, needs two Corntoss boards and at least 8 beanbags, and around 30 square meters of space in your backyard to move around. This game was rediscovered in Ohio in the last century. It recently achieved popularity in Athens and East Lansing in Michigan in the 1990s when some universities adapted the game in parties as a casual drinking game. Since then, it has spread throughout the country, with tournaments being held every now and then. It has even become a source of income for some sports enthusiasts. The Corntoss board is probably one of the most important elements of the Corntoss game. This is where the action happens. Corntoss won’t be the same without this special platform. This board is usually made of wood but there are a few designs now that are made of plastic. More people prefer the wood, though, because it works better in retaining the corn toss bags in the platform, and therefore gets more scores for the team. If you’re just playing Corntoss for fun, you need your Corntoss board can be any size you want. But if you play this game professionally, you need to follow regulation size to avoid being sanctioned by the American Cornhole Association (ACA). Regulation size boards should measure 48 x 24 inches and one-half inch in thickness. These boards are elevated by 12-inches from the ground on one end and should have a hole with a 6-inch diameter on the elevated end. The official Corntoss board has rules, not only on measurements, but also on how it is finished. For one, the surface of the boards should have a very smooth texture and should not have any rough spots or blemished that might distort the game. It should also not be too slippery that the beanbags slide back down. A good paint to use is high gloss latex paint. Lastly, any color or design is acceptable by the ACA, though it is more preferable if it is painted in white. If you are new to Corntoss and are planning to make one, there are a lot of guides on constructing Corntoss boards online. However, if you don’t have much time, you can always purchase custom Corntoss boards in sports shops. There are a lot online Corntoss shops these days that you can order from. The good thing about this is that it can be delivered to your home as quickly as you know it without any hassles. Corntoss is a game that has great potential in becoming a worldwide outdoor game. It’s not only a casual drinking game, but more importantly, it is a game where you can develop friendships and team unity. While you’re at it, you are even developing a very healthy lifestyle since you are also working out and you’re removing the stress in your body.
