Vitamin C Deficiency
Vitamin C deficiency could be more common than you think. For centuries it has been known that deficiency of Vitamin C can be associated with many things including mental health.
Mental Health From A Holistic View
Mental health is not something you have, it’s more to do with what you think. It is said that what you think you create and what you create you become.
Mental health is generally the overall wellness of how you think, how you feel and what you follow through with which then becomes how you behave. It’s a complex and multi layered concept that includes many emotional, social and psychological factors. But mostly it is broken into three major components: cognitive health, emotional health, and behavioural health. This too can be in varying degrees. People can experience significant disturbances in the mental thinking functioning, from mild to severe. if you have any concerns around, mental thinking, chattering of the mind, be in touch with your doctor or holistic health practitioner for guidance support.
Breathe awareness plus other forms of breathe work can be a support tool to slow down the mind. Many today are turning to different types of meditation to slow down, destress.
Balance in life can support us, too much of anything can throw us into all kinds of mind games, suffering.
C-pure Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one essential support Vitamin. Every day we need to eat food that contains Vitamin C as part of a healthy diet. When we don’t follow through on this we can become deficient in essential Vitamins.
If you are concerned about Vitamin C deficiency, add more fruit and vegetables that are high in Vitamin C to your meals.
Keep in mind when cooking that Vitamin C dissolves in water, boiling or steaming vegetables can reduce the Vitamins available for your body to absorb from the foods you eat. Consider lightly steaming your vegetables to improve their nutritional value.
If you are concerned that you may not be eating or absorbing enough Vitamin C rich foods, supplements as a boost may be useful.
