Unsteady Movements
Most people don’t realize that unsteady movements, or ataxia, could be a symptom of vitamin deficiency. When the brain is deprived of nutrients and lacks coordination, it’s not uncommon for people to experience ataxia. This can manifest in the form of muscle weakness and confusion.
Vitamin deficiencies can cause damage to the central nervous system and affect sensory processing—the body may get confused by signals from the eyes and ears, so movement is often disrupted. In some cases, you can correct impaired balance caused by vitamin deficiency with supplements or changes in diet. Still, sometimes it’s a sign of a more serious underlying condition that requires medical treatment.
To get the vitamins, you need to do the following daily: first, you’ll have to ensure you’re eating a balanced diet. If you’re getting plenty of fruits and vegetables in your meals but still experiencing symptoms like shaking or clumsiness, it may be that your diet is lacking in another crucial area. A deficiency in B12 can result in ataxia and several other physical symptoms.
