Subject: Vitamin D and folic acid can help deal with depression
Vitamin D and folic acid are two natural chemicals that affect neurotransmitter function, and low levels of either can contribute to depression. Vitamin D is normally produced by the skin when hit by sunlight, so can run short during the winter. Low iron levels can also affect brain function by limiting the blood's ability to supply the brain with oxygen. Fortunately, levels of all these substances can be boosted through nutrient-rich foods.
Key Takeaways:
- Vitamin D is produced when the skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
- In regions where sunshine is limited in winter, more people tend to suffer from depression.
- The theory that a shortage of vitamin D is related to depression is widely supported.
