A stressful lifestyle in an urban area makes it hard to breathe. Packed assignments for students, crazy overtime for white-collars, horrible traffic might only stresses you out even more. Here are some vitamins you need to start taking to combat your nagging health woes, and can easily be found in the food we consume everyday.
If you’re over-stressed: Take Vitamin B
Vitamin B is so important we think the government should make it compulsory in your diet. Vitamin B5 helps stabilize your adrenal glands to release adrenaline that causes stress while, Vitamin B12 releases a compound which reduces depression. Beef, tunas, oats, banana, avocado are all rich in Vitamin B!
If you’re always tired: Take Vitamin D
Almost every illness is related to a Vitamin D deficiency. It’s also related to fatigue, so take these if you’re always itching to crawl into bed. Although the sun is the fastest vitamin D source, but the ruthless daylight might scare people away from it. Fill up your vitamin D by eating fish, fortified cereals, eggs, mushrooms and fortified dairy products.
If you have acne: Take Vitamin E
It contains powerful antioxidants which helps to kill foreign radicals that damage the skin. It also helps regulate vitamin A in the body, which is vital for healthy skin. They cut the risk of certain kinds of cancers, help to promote overall body responses, and fight off a variety of degenerative conditions. Tropical fruits like papaya, kiwi, red bell peppers and broccoli are rich in powerful anti-oxidant substances.
If you have insomnia: Take Vitamin B12
Trouble sleeping? Counting sheep and eyes widely opened on bed? B12 plays a role in the correct nerve conduction in your brain. It helps regulate sleep cycles and activates the correct enzymes in your body so you’re able to sleep like a baby at night! Skimmed milk, whole milk tofu, fish, and cheese are effective enough for easy snooze off at night.
