Beriberi

Nombres alternativos:

Deficiencia de tiamina; deficiencia de vitamina B1

Prevención:

Se recomienda el consumo de una dieta rica en tiamina y otras vitaminas para prevenir el beriberi. Las madres lactantes deben asegurarse de que su dieta tenga un contenido adecuado de todas las vitaminas y que las fórmulas o leches artificiales para lactantes contengan tiamina.

Las personas que consumen mucho alcohol deben tratar de reducirlo o suspenderlo y complementar sus dietas con vitaminas del grupo B para garantizar que el cuerpo esté absorbiendo y almacenando la tiamina apropiadamente.
