Two major health problems that are seen in many people are numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, along with memory loss where you forget even small things quickly.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency: The most important scientific reason for the combination of these two symptoms is the deficiency of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production of the myelin sheath that protects our nerves and for the health of brain cells. When its level decreases in the body, the nerves are damaged, which causes severe numbness in the limbs (Peripheral Neuropathy) and also affects the thinking ability of the brain and causes severe memory loss (Cognitive Decline).<\/p>\n
