Please don't marry a vegetarian if you are a non-vegetarian. The vegetarian will ruin your life! They'll say 'I am pure veg' & not allow meat in the house. This will cause jhopadpatti disease called anaemia. A man I know has blood vitamin B12 lvl 33 thanks to his vegetarian wife.

I stopped eating wheat rotis (Indian flatbread) in an attempt to go lowcarb. Stopped beer completely. HbA1c down from 6 to 5.3 in 5 months.
Now I can do weight training & swimming consistently. When HbA1c is high, blood sugar isn't entering muscles. We patients don't know this.

Some old texts by travellers describe Indians as a tall race. The British banned hunting (even for food) under the Indian Forest Act of 1865 & taxed meat heavily. This led to widespread vegetarianism & malnourishment. We are responsible for continuing low protein food since 1947.

Vitamin B12 and all B complex vitamins are water soluble. They are thrown out by the body in excreta and urine. Hence, in the old days, drinking water from wells & rivers, which was contaminated with animal & human waste, was a source of vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12 is also made by the bacteria in the human gut. RO water removes cobalt alongwith other minerals. In the absence of cobalt, gut bacteria cannot make cobalamin (B12). If you are a vegetarian, use an UV only water filter, not a RO filter. Nonvegetarians get B12 from meat

High homocysteine leads to poor immunity and chronic infections. Meat and eggs supply vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and folic acid in high amounts. These 3 vitamins help regulate homocysteine.
Blood homocysteine should be around 9.
Side note: Ever since I've started eating meat and eggs regularly, I barely fall sick. My veg self would contract a cold every 6 months or so. Now, no more!! It might be a factor of a few other things too (great mental health maybe) but I pin it on meat/egg eating. Tandrust

There are cognitive benefits of keeping B12 higher. Homocysteine is high when vitamins B12/B9/B6 are low. High homocysteine is linked to increased incidence of strokes and heart disease. People have vitamin B12 between 200 to 450 and say it's normal. It's not.

Mutton delivered home! Mutton contains 68% adenosylcobalamin & 32% methylcobalamin. It is the best food to get our vitamin B12. Vegetarians quit your poor food habits & start eating mutton. Otherwise, YOU REALLY NEED NUTRIENT ENHANCED MALT POWDERS! (E.g. Bournvita, Horlicks etc)
