Why Do I Need Vitamin B12?

Vitamin B12, biochemical name cobalamin, is an essential B-vitamin that helps to convert the carbs you eat into fuel. In fact, b-vitamins work as a team and also help to metabolize proteins and fats (to a lesser degree). Vitamin B12 is particularly important for your nervous system, producing RNA and DNA (your genetic building blocks) for growth and repair, methylation pathways, red blood cell production (which carries oxygen to all of your cells so you can perform and thrive), and much more. It also teams up with folate (i.e. vitamin B9) and vitamin B6 to metabolize homocysteine in the body, where high levels are associated with inflammation and increased risk of heart disease. B12 also plays a role in melatonin production, the circadian hormone that helps to initiate sleep so you can recover effectively.
As I mentioned at the start of this article, common symptoms of low B12 include fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness, as well as anxiousness, poor sleep, inability to concentrate, subpar memory, loose stools, numbness and tingling sensations in your toes and fingers. These are all quite general symptoms and common in a variety of possible conditions. Let's take a look at who might be at risk of low vitamin B12 levels. 

Who Is At Risk of Low B12?

A dietary insufficiency reflects a level too low to best support your daily demands, while a frank deficiency is a lack of minimal intake required to sustain health (that will eventually lead to adverse symptoms) It can take some time for symptoms to present and it's actually quite difficult to assess how much of the population is truly vitamin B12 deficient, but the research suggests your risk of deficiency increases with age. All of that said, who is most likely at risk of low B12? Let's do a quick rundown...

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...
