Spring is finally here and as the weather warms up and flowers start to bloom, it's a great time to give your body an extra boost of nutrients to help you feel energized for the new season.
Here are some of the top vitamins and supplements to consider adding to your routine this Spring:
Vitamin D
Known as the "sunshine vitamin", vitamin D is produced by the body when exposed to sunlight. With the shorter, darker days of winter, many people become deficient in vitamin D during the colder months. Getting enough vitamin D is important for bone health, immune function, and reducing inflammation. Add a vitamin D supplement or try spending 10-15 minutes daily in the spring sunshine to restore your levels.
Vitamin C
This powerful antioxidant ramps up immune defense and protects cells from damage. Increase your intake of vitamin C from citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli, and supplements to build up resilience against spring allergies and illnesses.
Probiotics
The beneficial bacteria in probiotic supplements and foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented veggies help promote a healthy gut microbiome. This can aid digestion, boost immunity, and provide an array of other whole-body benefits as you transition from the winter routines.
B Vitamins
Loading up on B vitamins like B12, folate, and B6 can combat fatigue and brain fog that often comes with the change of seasons. B vitamins are easily depleted by stress, so getting adequate levels can provide clean energy and mental clarity.
Greens Powders
With fresh, local produce hitting the markets, it's a perfect time to add a nutrient-dense greens powder to your smoothies or meals. These concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from real fruits and vegetables provide an extra dose of immune-enhancing phytonutrients.
No matter which supplements you choose, be sure to discuss with your doctor first, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take medications. With some targeted nutritional support, you'll be ready to blossom this spring!
