You probably heard the term folic acid before.  I became familiar with the term when I became pregnant with my first child years ago.  Folic Acid also called folate, apparently is critical for  regulating your mood. Also, good news,  studies have shown that low levels of this B vitamin in the blood are related to depression.  Of course if you experience  depression or blues on a regular basis, I advise that you seek your health practitioner or  doctor’s support.

However if you experience  moodiness or “funk”,  periodically, make sure that you  get your share of leafy greens. sunflower seeds,  beets, and oranges, to name a few — all of which are rich in folic acid — into your diet. Keep in mind that a good multivitamin provides 100 percent of the daily value for folic acid. Regarding multivitamins I wrote an article on the advantage of  liquid vs pills or capsules some time ago.

So if you are experiencing  issues with not feeling like your naturally optimistic self, folic acid just may be the answer you need.

To your excellent health!

Every morning without fail I reached for my 100 mg B complex to start my day…and whenever, I begin to feel moody or irritable for no good reason I rely on my B complex to get me back to my normal optimistic self.

Now with that said, I gotten additional insight into more mood regulating support.  It seems that folic acid, also called folate, reducing mood swings.  Studies have shown that low levels of this B vitamin in the blood are related to depression. 

Of course if you continually suffer from depression, you may need to see  your health practitioner.  However, if your moodiness is temporary, you may want to try to include leafy greens, sunflower seeds, beets, and oranges…which are all rich in folic acid.  A multivitamin that provides 100 percent of the daily value for folic acid may also be an option for you.

More importantly,  I know I don’t want to stay in the doles, so I’m looking to holistic options to get me back on track. Mother nature provides so much to maintain our health…thank you Mother…

To your excellent health,
