  Hello everyone and welcome to the Blueness Guide, the guide to the ideal diet for the human race. Today we're going to take a look at vitamin B1. It's a water-soluble vitamin, so it's soluble in water, but humans can't synthesize it. It's also known as thiamine. It's provided through diet and is converted in the liver into PPP, which is the active form of vitamin B1. The best known role of this vitamin is energy production from carbohydrates, as well as the breakdown of alcohol. But this molecule has other benefits, including appearing effective in countering the rise of bad cholesterol and triglycerides, thus helping to fight diabetes. Thiamin would also slow down the glycation process, which is one of the drivers of human aging. It would also help prevent and treat lead poisoning. It would improve survival against AIDS-AIDS, improve heart failure, and regulate mood, and would thus allow better access to memory and, in general, the proper functioning of the brain. Almost all foods contain vitamin B1. Pork, dried fruits, nuts, such as walnuts and pistachios. Organ meats, whole grain foods. You'll also find the list of all ingredients rich in vitamin B1 directly on the Bluenose website. Just like other water-soluble vitamins, vitamin B1 escapes into the cooking water. Hence the benefit of steaming and cooking food for the necessary time and no more. In terms of intake, according to official bodies, the recommended dosage of vitamin B1 after adolescence ranges between 1.2 and 1.5 milligrams per day. However, some alternative nutritionists recommend increasing the dosage to at least 2.4 milligrams per day for adults. In fact, official health sites suggest increasing the recommended intake which is basically 1.2 to 1.5 milligrams per day. They therefore advise increasing it by 0.5 to 1.5 milligrams per day, especially for athletes. In any case, the difference won't be counterproductive or harmful to the body. It knows very well how to eliminate an overdose of vitamin B1 through urine. So should we supplement? At first glance, no. We are not prone to a vitamin B1 deficiency in industrialized countries. Indeed, this deficiency only occurs in poor countries where malnutrition and undernutrition are prevalent. If, however, you consume sufficient amounts of animal protein, organ meats, and seasoned or cooked vegetables daily, and you're not a heavy smoker and don't suffer from alcoholism, Confirmed chronic? You probably don't need a supplement. But if not, we suggest you see a doctor who can tell you what vitamin B1 supplementation you might need to take if necessary. In conclusion, except for the very specific cases we just mentioned, your diet will provide you with plenty of vitamin B1. There's no need to worry about it. See you very soon in the Blueness Guide.
