Give Me a B!

Move over vitamin D – vitamin B needs some attention too!

Vitamin D gets a lot of attention in the winter – we need more of it to fight the winter blues with shorter days. But the B vitamins are really important too. Deficiencies in B vitamins make us more prone to SAD – seasonal affective disorder – because it’s a mood booster and also helps to synchronize our body’s internal clock. If you’re feeling sleepy or sad – consider popping a B complex supplement – and don’t forget to expose yourself to as much sunlight as possible for an extra dose of D.
