Autumn has arrived and with the changing seasons comes a drastic reduction in sun exposure. For the majority of us this translates into a vitamin deficiency which can have a negative impact on our mood, health, and overall energy levels. As you know, we are all about energy! So, we wanted to provide you with a few recommendations to optimize your health and fortify your energy level this fall and winter.
Go Outside
Rain or Shine! Spending time outside has a significant impact on the brain's ability to focus and overall mood. Bundle up and head outside. It will make a difference.
Supplement Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2
Taking Vitamin D3 helps to compensate for the reduction in sunlight and is critical for the body’s production of mood enhancing hormones. Vitamin K2 allows for the absorption of D3 and directs calcium to the proper tissues.
Optimize Gut Health
Your intestinal health has a tremendous impact on brain function. Furthermore, the digestive tract creates more serotonin (the feel-good hormone) than your brain so it is incredibly important to keep it working well.
Exercise Regularly
Exercise also enhances brain function which is essential to feeling well. Research has shown time and again that exercise has better outcomes than depression medications treating depression. We are fans of yoga, weight training and attending cardio classes. We have also had fun working out along with clients in our small group personal training sessions. Figure out what works best for you and get sweaty!
