B12 deficiency is the easiest thing to avoid with proper supplementation. It afflicted many old-time vegans when there was an adversity toward B12 supplements.

A diet with animal foods (including dairy products and eggs) is usually enough to avoid any deficiencies, although with age absorption decreases.

Even if I eat plenty of yogurt, as a precautionary principle I take intermittent supplementation.

Thanks Mccoy I noticed some numbness in my feet and started taking Vitamin B supplements and have noticed the numbness subsiding.
