I am not a medical doctor, but the truth is that when I
treat anyone experiencing depression or anxiety, I do send him or her to his or
her primary care physician to check on a few basic things.
If you live in the northwest, or if you eat a vegan diet,
you should check your Vitamin D level.
Research has shown people living in the northwest are not
getting enough sunlight on their skin and are often very low on Vitamin D.
Insufficient levels of Vitamin D can affect your mental
health.
Will more Vitamin D cure your depression?
It could make a very big difference, but anyone experiencing
depression will need a more comprehensive strategy. Vitamin D will absolutely need to be part of
the strategy if your Vitamin D level is low.
I have seen low Vitamin D levels in several people
coming to me to get relief from depression. Enough to make me check everyone.
You don’t need to be depressed to check your Vitamin D
level, go ahead and take a proactive step. Check your Vitamin D level.
Let me know if you make a discovery.
