Emotional Education : Vitamin D
It's estimated that between 40-70% of the US population is deficient in Vitamin D! The best source for getting Vitamin D is the sun, but with many of us staying inside more and more, with the higher need for sunscreen, and with the winter season coming up- supplementing Vitamin D can be super important! -Eryn Jones
WHAT ROLE DOES SUFFICIENT LEVELS OF VITAMIN D PLAY IN OUR EMOTIONS?
Aids in executive functions of the brain- reasoning, flexibility, and attention
Keeps your risk lower for seasonal blues
Assists in memory functions of the brain.
A personal story: I recently had my Vitamin D tested in March and it was 11 (healthy ranges are between 60-80)! I took Omegagize and switched to Super Vitamin D in June (a vegan formula). I used them most every day for five months. In August I had my levels checked again and I was up to 36! A major help for me after experiencing such low times this Spring.
Vitamin D plays a huge roll in so many things! Since most of us are deficient, it can be a huge help for our emotional well-being to have a good Vitamin D supplement routine.
