What Is Beriberi?
8. Prevention
For most people, preventing beriberi is a matter of eating well. This includes not only getting enough food, but also getting a variety food. That way, you can be sure of getting enough vitamin B-1, and all the other vitamins and minerals that are so important to us. Supplements can help if needed to prevent the condition.
Mother’s should be sure to breast feed new born babies to help ensure they get all the vitamins and minerals they need. If they are unable to breast feed then they should be sure to use a good quality formula that provides all the nutrition that a baby needs. Limiting your alcohol consumption will also help to prevent beriberi.
