Mood Support for The Winter Blues . . . .

From Dr. John Douillard :

Nervous about the winter blues?

Research published in the journal Nutrition studied the effects of vitamin C on mood. Thirty-two hospitalized men and women were given 500mg of vitamin C twice a day for 10 days.

The vitamin C levels in the participants’ blood nearly tripled with only 1000mg per day. This resulted in a 34% decrease in mood disturbances.*

Vitamin C is one vitamin humans can not manufacture. We get vitamin C only through a diet rich in fruits and veggies. Citrus fruits are of course the best source of vitamin C.

Interestingly, most citrus fruits are harvested in warmer climates in the winter. Think Florida oranges in the winter and grapefruits in the early spring. The immune-supporting, tissue-building, and mood-supporting benefits of vitamin C are a wonderful prescription from nature to ward off the winter woes.

In Ayurveda, the citrus fruit of the Amalaki tree is one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C. Interestingly, this citrus fruit has an anti-acid effect in the digestive system, unlike most citrus fruits, which have a strongly acidic digestive effect.
