Regular exercise, good sleep and healthy eating are some of the best ways to help your body fight stress and stay healthy. B vitamins also help.
These vitamins play an important role in metabolism by converting the food you eat into usable energy. B vitamins are also essential for heart and brain health.
Food sources of B vitamins include whole grains, meat, legumes, eggs, dairy products and leafy vegetables.
High doses of B vitamins have been suggested to improve stress symptoms, such as concentration problems and energy levels.
In a 12-week study of 60 people who had work-related stress, those who took one of two forms of a B vitamin supplement experienced fewer stress symptoms, including depression, anger, and fatigue, compared to others. These vitamins improve mood and reduce anxiety.
B vitamin supplements are usually safe when taken within the dose recommended by your doctor. However, they can cause harmful side effects such as nerve pain when taken in large quantities, so consultation with a specialist is needed.
