#5 – Depression

Just like the rest of your nervous system, the areas of your brain associated with depression have vitamin D receptors.

And, vitamin D is important to ensuring your body releases enough serotonin and dopamine, two neurotransmitters vital to your mental health.

After all, have you noticed that more people experience the blues in the winter time when days are shorter and there’s less sunlight?

That’s the vitamin D effect.

And, scientists have proven that people who are deficient in vitamin D are 11 times more likely to experience depression than those with normal D levels.
