Autoimmune Disease and Vitamin B12.

Why is Vitamin B12 important?

Have you had your Vitamin B12 levels recently checked by your doctor?

Why is Vitamin B12 important to us?

If you are low in Vitamin B12 it affects your white blood cell count and this can make the immune system more susceptible to mistakenly attacking healthy cells!

Did you know that your body doesn’t make Vitamin B12 or store it for a long time?

This means we need to get it regularly from our food or from supplements (you should always seek a doctor’s advice before taking supplements).

Foods such as breakfast cereals are often fortified with Vitamin B12. You can also find it in milk products and a variety of protein foods including meats, eggs, seafood, beans, peas, lentils, nuts and soy products.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Facebook Support Group

A Facebook group set up to support those living with Autoimmune Diseases or are living gluten-free, dairy-free life.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
