What is a diet plan for people with Beriberi?

---

I Need to know what people with Beriberi should eat? as they need a diet plan and cannot just eat anything PLEASE HELP ME!
Treatment for beriberi is with thiamine hydrochloride, either in tablet form or injection. A rapid and dramatic recovery within hours can be made when this is administered to patients, and their health can be improved within an hour of starting treatment. In emergency situations where concentrated thiamin supplements are unavailable, feeding the patient with a thiamin-rich diet (e.g. whole grain brown bread) will lead to recovery, though at a much slower rate.

Whole grain cereals, legumes (e.g., beans and lentils), nuts, lean pork, and yeast are rich sources of thiamin (1). Because most of the thiamin is lost during the production of white flour and polished (milled) rice, white rice and foods made from white flour (e.g., bread and pasta) are fortified with thiamin in many Western countries.

Brazil nuts, pecans and spinach contain thiamine too.  (+ info)

what can beriberi do to el human body?

---

Beriberi is a lack of Thiamin (vitamin B-1)which is a water-soluble and heat-labile vitamin that acts as a coenzyme in the decarboxylation (pyruvate and ketoglutarate) and transketolation pathways (pentose phosphate pathway) of carbohydrate metabolism, and possibly in nerve conduction (essential for the synthesis of acetylcholine). Beriberi was first describe some 4500 years ago, but the relation with B1 has been manifested in the last century. The biochemical defect responsible for the clinical manifestations of beriberi is not known. Deficiency of this vitamin affects the cardiovascular, muscular, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
Beriberi does not occur in the US or western countries but Vit. B 1 (thiamine) deficiencies are related to heavy alcohol abuse or HIV infections.  (+ info)

Getting to your main question, vitamins and minerals are different. Vitamins ("vita" = life and "amine" = containing nitrogen) are organic (containing carbon, which is an element found in all living things) compounds (containing atoms of one or more different elements). Minerals are pure inorganic elements (containing atoms of the same element), meaning they are much simpler in chemical form than vitamins. All vitamins are essential or required by our bodies, whereas only some minerals are essential nutrients. Vitamins are vulnerable to heat, light, and chemical agents, so cooking, food preparation, processing, and storage must be appropriate to preserve vitamins in food. Minerals, on the other hand, are more stable to food preparation, but mineral loss can occur when they are bound to other substances in foods (such as oxalates found in spinach and tea, and phytates found in legumes and grains), making them unavailable for the body to utilize.  (+ info)

What are the most common vitamin and mineral deficiencies in Western diet?

---

So on one hand we need all the vitamins and minerals, and on the other I haven't seen that many people with scurvy or beriberi, so at least some must be extremely plentiful in our food. So which vitamin and mineral deficiencies are actually common in people following Western diet, and which we don't need to concern ourselves about?
I swear to god I was suffering from scurvy, or at least Vitamin C deficiency. I had incredible cravings for broccoli, orange juice, pineapple on pizza, potatoes. Even though citrus flavored sodas didn't have Vitamin C, I gulped them down. I wanted to live every day just eating burgers and hot dogs though. I felt like crap everyday.

I'm eating fruits now everyday, and I'm getting better. I feel better already, and the cravings have gone away.  (+ info)
