Wake Up Without the Numbness: The Vitamin B Smoothie Recipe
A green smoothie built around B-vitamin-rich ingredients, for morning numbness in the hands or feet.
Waking up with numbness or tingling in the hands or feet is often linked to nerve health, and B vitamins are some of the most well-documented nutrients for supporting healthy nerve function.
What you'll need
- A large handful of spinach
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (a natural source of B vitamins)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup milk of choice
How to make it
- Add the spinach, nutritional yeast, banana, and milk to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Drink in the morning as part of breakfast.
Why people say it works
B vitamins, especially B12, B6, and folate, play a well-documented role in maintaining healthy nerve function, and deficiencies in these nutrients are a known cause of numbness and tingling. Nutritional yeast is one of the most concentrated plant-based sources of B vitamins available.
This is a home remedy, not a medical treatment. If numbness is persistent or severe, talk to a doctor, since it can have several underlying causes that deserve proper evaluation.
