I am always been an advocate of supplementing your diet, as I do believe most of us are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals and no matter how good our diet we may need to uptake certain vitamins and minerals to hit an optimum level and feel the benefits to our health.
Throughout the current pandemic I have experienced as I’m sure most of you have a rollercoaster of emotions, happy times, times I’ve questioned my mental health, moments I’ve felt alone and scared of the future.
But in reality those lows I could link to me neglecting my health and well being for example – drinking too much wine, not eating properly as I couldn’t be bothered. Not taking my supplements. Not drinking enough water.
I had forgotten that good nutrition and exercise are the fundamentals of mental health and the more I didn’t take care of myself from the inside the lower my mood and emotions would become.
Now no one supplement alone is a miracle cure but during lockdown as I started to feel low I decided that I would seek advice about getting a Vitamin B12 jab which I had been having prior to the lockdown as I remember how it used to make me feel once I had had it.
My friend who I see for my Jab said it was medical and she could see me during lockdown. After I had the Jab I felt back to my normal self, the low mood eased and I felt more positive and with that came the other changes that I needed to make, like drinking more water and taking care of my diet.
I have found ever since I started taking it I can really notice when I need to have a top up usually every 4 weeks. It keeps the spring in my step and lifts my mood as well as making my hair, skin and nails feel amazing.
Although some may argue, you would have felt better if you drank more water, ate more healthily without the jab I would argue but I didn’t, I didn’t have the motivation or mental strength at that time to want to do it and the Vitamin B jab always increase my energy and boosts my mood.
Never underestimate what equilibrium feels like. Good nutritional and hormonal balance will make you feel complete and in control.
Take care of yourself and everything will fall into place. I will make sure I stay on top of my B12 Injections so I don’t slip into the beginning of depression again.
