Include fortified foods like plant-based milk (soy, almond) or cereals with added B12 in your daily diet.
Consume dairy products regularly, such as milk, curd, paneer, and cheese, as they are good vegetarian sources of B12.
Add fermented foods like idli, dosa, and dhokla, as they support better nutrient absorption.
Have a warm glass of milk with turmeric or saffron before bed, especially in winter, for added nourishment and warmth.
Combine B12-rich foods with Vitamin C-rich fruits like oranges, amla, or guava to enhance absorption.
Eat a variety of winter greens like spinach, methi, and mustard leaves to boost overall nutrition and support energy levels.
Maintain regular meal timings and ensure your diet is balanced with whole grains, legumes, and nuts for sustained energy.
