Tips to Support Mood Balance during Seasonal Changes

Kerry Locatelli, BNat

What do we mean by Seasonal Mood Changes? 

We are referring to mood changes that generally occur during Autumn and Winter.

What lifestyle factors can help?

Exercise and exposure to natural light can be beneficial to those experiencing seasonal mood changes.

A regular bedtime and wake up time can help regulate your circadian rhythm which can also be beneficial.

When it comes to diet, focus on nourishment. Natural and whole foods as far as possible, with a variety of colourful vegetables and fruits. Build each meal around a quality source of protein, add in vegetables, fruit, complex carbohydrates, and good quality fats. Reduce refined foods, including foods and drinks high in added sugars, excess caffeine, and alcohol. 

What supplements can I take to support my mood balance?

GO VITAMIN D3 1,000IU is a single, high strength ingredient supplement that can support mood balance.

GO 5HTP 160mg supports the healthy production of serotonin. When serotonin is released in the brain, it creates feelings of well-being and supports mood balance. It can also support sleep quality.

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. Go Healthy, Auckland. TAPS4572
