We could all use less stress in our lives, which is why these tips from @marinawrightwellness are so handy! 👏

Certain nutrients play a crucial role in stress management. That's why it's important to nourish your body properly to reduce the impact stress has on your body and your mental health. 

For example, magnesium helps regulate the nervous system and muscle function, both of which are impacted by stress. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish can contribute to a healthy mood and cognitive function. B vitamins and vitamin C are involved in the production of stress-fighting hormones and neurotransmitters. 🧠🥗

Leaky Gut and the Gut Barrier
Love this post by @goodnesslover about the importance of a healthy gut barrier! 👏👏👏 "Leaky gut is where the lining of our gut becomes porous, allowing waste products and toxins, food proteins, pathogenic bacteria and other compounds to seep through the membranes and enter the blood stream. Your immune system then mounts a response to what it sees as foreign bodies in the bloodstream, resulting in inflammation, immune dysregulation and chronic disease." #guthealth #leakygut #wellness #nutrition #vitamind #gut #gutbrainaxis #inflammation #digestion #healthy #thenutritioninstitute
B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that aids in nerve health, DNA production, red blood cell production, and healthy brain function. 🧠⚡ B12 is found in eggs, milk and milk products, animal liver/kidney, beef, and seafood such as clams, tuna, sardines, and salmon. 🍣🥛🍳 For vegetarians and vegans, B12 can be found in fortified cereals and certain types of nutritional yeast. Because fewer sources of B12 are vegan-friendly, a vitamin supplement may help you reach your goal.
