Vitamins and Your Health: Vitamin Deficiency and Depression
Vitamin D can impact your health in more ways than we thought possible.
Most of us have felt the winter blues. Do we feel depressed because of the weather, change to a temporary indoor lifestyle or maybe it is the abrupt ending to the Holiday Season?
Research as shown a vitamin D deficiency can lead to depression. Most of us do are not exposed to sunlight very frequently during the winter months preventing our bodies from metabolizing vitamin D. Milk, yogurt, cheese and orange juice are often fortified with vitamin D. Fortifying these foods with valuable vitamin D is frequently not enough.
If you are living the sunless winter lifestyle most are subjected to, a vitamin D supplement may not be a good decision. Vitamin D could have a serious impact on you this season. Let’s hope it is a positive one.
