Vitamin B1 deficiency neuropathy

Vitamin B1 (ie, thiamine) deficiency was once clinically called "beriberi". It is a systemic disease caused by insufficient intake of vitamin B1 in food. It mainly affects the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems. The incidence of this disease is relatively low, but it still occurs frequently in areas where cereals are the staple food of our country.
