Low Vitamin D Linked to Depressed Teens
from Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast · host Dr. Eric Berg
A study I read recently talked about how vitamin D levels could be linked to depressed teens. A few symptoms linked to a vitamin D deficiency are sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest, loss of concentration, and even thoughts of suicide. Potential causes of a vitamin D deficiency in teens: • Not getting enough sun • Not consuming enough vegetables (not enough magnesium) • Snacking (insulin resistance blocks vitamin D) • A high carb diet (fructose blocks vitamin D) • Obesity (increases the need for vitamin D) • Darker skin blocks vitamin D absorption Other symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency: • Achy joints • Low back pain • Lethargy • Insomnia • Anxiety Natural remedies: • Vitamin D (10,000 IUs) • Magnesium • Vitamin K2 A few more things for teens to do: • Get out in the sun • Consume more vegetables • Stop snacking (do intermittent fasting) • Get on a low-carb diet (healthy keto) Dr. Berg’s D3 & K2 Vitamin: https://bit.ly/37zYdLc DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22372...
