We don’t often consider that vitamins, or lack of vitamins and minerals are the cause of our depressed mood. There is a major link though, between the vitamins that you are taking in and how your body is processing them and the way your mind and body feel. A lack of B vitamins can cause you to have a low mood and affect your overall well being. Certain toxins will also have a harder time leaving your system without the necessary nutrients.

Key Takeaways:

• Vitamin B12 is a very common vitamin that affects the brain and can be found in vegetables, mushrooms and yeast. This vitamin helps create neurotransmitters in the brain.
• Vitamin E does a great job of protecting cells from damage as well as preventing illness and aging. To get Vitamin E, eat some almonds, spinach or avocado.
• Calcium is a great mineral that can keep your bones strong as well as keep your mind sharp. To get calcium into your body, eat spinach, kale and okra.
