Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is beneficial for maintaining the health of the nervous system and heart. In food, vitamin B1 is widely present in various ingredients, especially whole grains and legumes. Specifically, whole grain foods such as brown rice, oats, and whole wheat bread are excellent sources of vitamin B1, as these foods retain most of the nutrients found in grains. Legumes such as soybeans, mung beans, and black beans are also rich in vitamin B1 and represent an important choice for vegetarians. As for fruits, although their vitamin B1 content is relatively low, certain fruits such as bananas, grapes, and kiwifruit still contain a certain amount of vitamin B1 and can serve as supplementary sources in daily diet. To ensure an adequate intake of vitamin B1 in daily diet, it is recommended to diversify meals, select a variety of foods, and avoid overly processed products. If discomfort symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is advised.
