The Nutrition Twins® and Vidazorb® Offer Ways to Beat the Winter Blues
Beltsville, MD (Vocus/PRWEB) January 27, 2011
The cold depths of winter can bring on the worst of moods for even the most optimistic of people. In these winter months, it is important to know that there are measures one can take to improve their mood. “In the winter we are exposed to less sunlight, so we produce fewer endorphins and feel less happy,” says one of The Nutrition Twins, Tammy Lakatos. Certain foods and supplements can restore balance to the body and provide essential nutrients, uplifting mood from the inside out. Vidazorb® Chewable Probiotics and The Nutrition Twins® would like to share some great ways to boost your mood this winter:
Carbohydrates — Carbohydrates naturally boost the body’s feel good hormone serotonin. Incorporating healthy whole grains like Kamut khorasan or amaranth and baked potatoes are great options.
Dairy — Low levels of Vitamin D have been linked to depression. Milk, cheese and yoghurt are all great sources of Vitamin D. Go for low-fat and nonfat options. Surprisingly, mushrooms are the only plant source that contains Vitamin D!
Probiotics — “Probiotics contain good bacteria that help to keep our digestive tracks healthy,” says Tammy, “and research shows that they can boost our mood.” Try taking a probiotic supplement like Vidazorb®. Tammy takes Vidazorb “because they manufacture their probiotics in an FDA pharmaceutical facility, following FDA protocol and then after that they send them out to an independent lab for testing. So I know everything I am actually getting.”
Vitamin C — “Most of us get our Vitamin C from produce, and we all tend to get a lot less during the winter months,” says Lyssie. A great way to incorporate Vitamin C in the winter time is to make a conscious effort to eat more citrus fruits.
Green, black, white or oolong tea — Besides providing actual warmth, tea is a good source of antioxidants and L-theanine, an amino acid that creates a mental calmness. And remember, January is National Hot Tea Month, so drink up.
Exercise — Another great way to boost endorphins. Just a little bit of exercise each day will improve your mood.
Maintaining health and good spirits during the winter months can be much easier when following a nutritious diet. By adding a probiotic supplement like Vidazorb® to a healthy diet, many people may find that the winter months are not that moody after all.
