Why Red Star® Nutritional Yeasts are recommended for the Winter Blues.
Winter Blues impact our mental and physical health, often exacerbated by reduced sunlight exposure, colder weather, and lifestyle changes.
Key Symptoms of Winter Blues:
1. Low mood or depression
2. Fatigue and lethargy
3. Increased appetite (especially cravings for carbs and sugars)
4. Weight gain
5. Sleep disturbances (oversleeping or insomnia)
6. Difficulty concentrating
7. Social withdrawal
The Role of Vitamins and the Winter Blues
Vitamins play a crucial role in how our bodies function, especially those of B-group :
• B1, B2, and B3 are essential for energy metabolism. A deficiency in these vitamins worsens Winter fatigue.
• B6 and B9 are indispensable for the synthesis of serotonin (the “happiness hormone”). A deficiency disrupts mood and sleep.
• B12 is vital for its support of cognitive function. Winter diets with fewer fresh foods can reduce our natural intake.
