How nutrition can help with mental health

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week this week (9-15 May), registered nutritional therapist for Vitaminology, Rose Legge has shared the nutrients that are beneficial for supporting mental health and general wellbeing. Vitamin B5 helps to convert carbohydrates into glucose, which in turn, produces energy. Natural sources of vitamin B5 include mushrooms, salmon, avocado, chicken, beef liver, sunflower seeds, whole milk, sweet potatoes and more. Magnesium is thought to help anxiety and mood, as well as helping to promote natural sleep.
