~ Manimahesh, Himachal Pradesh 

Manimahesh Lake (also known as Dal Lake) is situated in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, in the Bharmour subdivision of Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. Nestled at an elevation of 4,080 meters, it is considered only second in significance to the Lake Mansarovar in Tibet. Manimahesh literally means "Shiva's jewels". According to a local legend, on a full moon night, one can see the reflection of this jewel in the magnificent lake.

Most of the year, it remains closed due to the snow. To reach the lake, one has to trek a distance of 13 km through enchanting mountains and greenery. Shaped like a saucer, the Lake is divided into two main parts - the larger part is the Shiv Katori (the bathing place of Lord Shiva), and the lower part is called Gauri Kund (the bathing place for Goddess Parvati).

The mighty Lake is situated in proximity to the virgin peak of Manimahesh Kailash Parbat, which is considered to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva. It is said that he created both the landforms as his marital home with Goddess Parvati, and he is believed to be residing here still. There is even a marble image dedicated to the Lord in the periphery that is also called Chaumukha.

Vitamin B12 food

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, helps regulate the nervous system. It also plays a role in growth and red blood cell formation.

Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency

A vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to disruption in the nervous system and the circulatory system.

Vitamin B12 deficiencies can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow produces large abnormally shaped red blood cells that do not function properly.

Psychological conditions such as dementia, paranoia, depression, and behavioral changes can result from a vitamin B12 deficiency. Neurological damage sometimes cannot be reversed.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause the following symptoms:

• tiredness or fatigue
• weakness
• constipation
• loss of appetite
• weight loss
• numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
• balance problems
• confusion
• poor memory
• soreness of the mouth or tongue

Causes of folate deficiency

Folate dissolves in water, which means your body is unable to store it for long periods of time.

Your body's store of folate is usually enough to last 4 months. This means you need folate in your daily diet to ensure your body has sufficient stores of the vitamin.

Like vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia, folate deficiency anaemia can develop for a number of reasons.

Diet

Good sources of folate include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, peas, chickpeas and brown rice.

If you do not regularly eat these types of foods, you may develop a folate deficiency.

Folate deficiency caused by a lack of dietary folate is more common in people who have a generally unbalanced and unhealthy diet, people who regularly misuse alcohol, and people following a fad diet that does not involve eating good sources of folate.
