Health Tips: Often people ignore the tremors in their hands considering it as weakness or fatigue. But according to health experts, if your hands often tremble then it could be a sign to your nervous system and lack of nutrition. Especially deficiency of Vitamin B12 is considered most responsible for this.

Slight shaking or vibration in the hands is called tremor in medical language. Although this can be an early symptom of serious diseases like Parkinson’s, in many cases the real reason behind it is the severe deficiency of nutrients in our diet. Experts believe that our nervous system depends on certain vitamins and minerals, the deficiency of which creates a short circuit-like condition in the body.

Vitamin B12 nerve protection

The biggest reason for hand tremors is considered to be deficiency of Vitamin B12. This vitamin helps form a protective layer called myelin over our nerves. When B12 is deficient in the body, this layer becomes weak due to which nerve signals do not reach the brain properly. Due to this, tremors, tingling and numbness start being felt in the hands.

Role of Magnesium and Vitamin B6

Not only B12 but magnesium deficiency can also cause muscle cramps and tremors. Magnesium works to relax muscles. At the same time, Vitamin B6 balances those chemicals (neurotransmitters) of the brain which control the activities of our body. If both these elements decrease then it becomes difficult to control the hands.

Precautions and safety measures

If along with tremors you are feeling fatigue, loss of memory or difficulty in walking, then a blood test should be done immediately.

Changes in diet: Include eggs, milk, cheese, green vegetables, nuts and whole grains in your diet.

Challenge for Vegetarians: Vitamin B12 is found mainly in non-vegetarian food, so vegetarians may need to take supplements through fortified foods or on doctor’s advice.

Stress Management: Sometimes stress and excessive caffeine (tea-coffee) consumption also increases this problem.

Trembling of hands is not a normal thing. Recognize these silent signals of the body in time and keep your nerves healthy with proper nutrition. If you also have this kind of problem, then change your diet and if the problem persists, consult a doctor.
