Microwaving food? It's no good for vitamin B12.

The microwave is a convenient tool for warming a meal, but it alters the nutrient makeup of foods and does not preserve vitamins...

Microwaving food converts vitamin B12 into a non-usable form, which the body cannot use. 

Our bodies need vitamin B12 to nourish the nerves and it may be helpful with conditions like Parkinson's, Bell's palsy and MS. It is one of the few known substances that have an impact on damaged nerves. It plays an important role in protein conversion and is needed to help prevent anemia. 

B12 is found in sea vegetables such as kelp, dulse and nori. It is also abundant in soybeans, meats, eggs, seafood and dairy.
