In the UK, 70 millions days are lost from work each year due to mental health issues – meaning that anxiety, depression and stress-related conditions are the leading cause of sickness absence in this country.
Stress can be useful in some situations, but more often than not, it's detrimental to our health – which is why it’s so important that we manage stress through diet, exercise and sleep, as well as helpful habits like mindfulness.
Focusing on the diet aspect, you can start by ensuring you are getting all the Vitamin C and Vitamin D you need.
It may be famed for its cough-and-cold slaying powers, but Vitamin C gets to work inside your brain by helping with the production and release of neurotransmitters.
These neurotransmitters are involved in the creation of serotonin, which is known more commonly as the ‘happy hormone.’ But Vitamin C also boasts a whole bunch of antioxidant properties, which protect the brain.
The winter months are generally considered to be the most gruelling for people in the UK, so there’s no better time to top up your Vitamin C levels to support against illness and keep your happy hormones firing.
Unlike Vitamin C, we’re capable of producing Vitamin D ourselves, but there's just one little problem for people in the UK: we obtain Vitamin D from sunlight exposure and there's not much to spare throughout autumn and winter.
Vitamin D is involved in many aspects of human health, but without sunshine, it's all about diet.
One Canadian study showed a strong association between circulating concentrations of vitamin D and indicators of mental health. In addition to this, two other studies have also shown that maintaining optimum levels (>50nmol/L) of vitamin D might help with your risk of low mood, anxiety, and depression.
While we don’t want to brag or anything… MOJU is probs the easiest (not to mention most delicious) way to get mo’ of your essential vitamins in, whatever the weather.
There are healthy vits in every MOJU shot, but throughout winter especially, we recommend taking our Immunity Shots for a potent one-two punch of naturally-sourced Vitamin C and Vitamin D.
It’s still very early days in this sort of research and much more work needs to be carried out to understand it better. That being said, the consumption of natural vitamins is a low-risk and cost-effective way to promote your general wellbeing.
