Your Bad Mood Could Be Linked to Vitamin D Deficiency
Research suggests a connection between Vitamin D deficiency and mental heath issues such as depression, anxiety and other disorders.
I’m sure you heard the news that Vitamin D may decrease the severity of COVID-19 [1]. If that tidbit doesn’t convince you to get onboard with Vitamin D, perhaps this post will. Read on!
I had no idea that Vitamin D did anything other than help absorb calcium and strengthen our bones. So, as a woman of a certain age, I took Vitamin D3 whenever I remembered to do so. No big deal. Who wants osteoporosis? No one.
Vitamin D does so much more than prevent osteoporosis.
Nearly every system in our body needs Vitamin D to function including our brains. A friend of mine who has seasonal depression and is Vitamin D deficient clued me to the benefits of taking Vitamin D for mental health. It got me thinking. For starters, I wondered why many health providers don’t screen for this. I haven’t been screened for Vitamin D deficiency. Have you?
I did a lot of research on Vitamin D. I love geeking out on the hows and whys our bodies and brains might misfire. I was a bit surprised at what I found about Vitamin D and why nearly everyone is at risk for Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.
