Interesting Tips about the Vitamin B6 Deficiency
A Healthy Lifestyle
1. Take a well Balanced Diet
2. Vitamin B6 Deficiency treatment and prevention measures are:
Vitamin B6 supplements (pyridoxine)
Pyridoxine is used for preventing and treating low levels of pyridoxine (pyridoxine deficiency) and the tired blood (anemia) that may result.
It is also used for heart disease; high cholesterol; reducing blood levels of homocysteine, a chemical that might be linked to heart disease; and helping clogged arteries stay open after a balloon procedure to unblock them (angioplasty).
Women use pyridoxine for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and other menstruation problems, morning sickness (nausea and vomiting) in early pregnancy, stopping milk flow after childbirth, depression related to pregnancy or using birth control pills, and symptoms of menopause.
Pyridoxine is also used for Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome, autism, diabetes and related nerve pain, sickle cell anemia, migraine headaches, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, night leg cramps, muscle cramps, arthritis, allergies, acne and various other skin conditions, and infertility.
3. Keep bones and body strong
Bone marrow produces our blood
Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.
Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.
Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits
Zinc and other minerals are important to the body
4. Get enough rest and Sleep
Avoid stress and tension
5. Exercise and stay active.
It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 2½ hours a week.
One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.
Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.
6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman.
Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone.
Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells.
7. Stop or do not begin smoking.
It also interferes with blood supply and healing.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is present in all living human tissues as important enzymes in amino acid metabolism
There are three traditionally considered forms of vitamin B6:
1. Pyridoxal (PL),
2. Pyridoxine (PN),
3. Pyridoxamine (PM).
Vitamin B6 is converted to pyridoxal phosphate a co-enzyme of a series of enzymes that catalyze tramination, decarboxylation and deamination of amino acids.
Vitamin B6 is found primarily in
1. Animal sources - red meat, liver, milk, egg yolks
2. Vegetable sources: Vitamin B6 is found in fresh green and yellow vegetables, cereals
