Welcome back to another episode of health hack as I continue talking this week about key B vitamins and key nutrients in general. So in the last episode, I talked about vitamin b3 niacin, and I got an episode to itself because there's so many health benefits to niacin, and today I'm going to share with you the benefits of vitamin b1 thiamine and vitamin b2 riboflavin. So for vitamin b1 it is very helpful in boosting energy metabolism, because it plays a crucial role in converting carbohydrates into energy. It also supports the nervous system, and that, of course, is helpful in balancing mood and just improving how we feel in our mental body, and is helpful in our ability to cope with stress, which is something that our B vitamins are very well known for. And it also enhances cardiovascular health and the proper functioning of our heart muscles and improving blood circulation. So what are some good food sources of vitamin b1? Your whole grains, your brown rice, your oats, your barley, as well as legumes, beans, lentils and peas, as well as nuts and seeds, such as sunflower seeds, flax seeds, macadamia nuts, pork and then fish such as trout and tuna. And then, when it comes to vitamin b2 riboflavin, it is very good at promoting healthy skin and eyes. It helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which can prevent skin conditions and eye problems. It's also very good at supporting energy production. So like the amine, it is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and as well as fats and protein, helping the body produce energy efficiently. And it's very good in aiding red blood cell production, which is crucial, crucial for oxygen transport throughout the body and overall vitality. So some good food sources of vitamin b2, are your dairy products, milk yogurt cheese as well as eggs, lean meats such as beef and chicken, green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale as well as almonds. So again, incorporating these foods into your diet is going to really help your body be able to cope with everything that you're trying to do in any given day, and the stress that that puts onto your body. And a lot of people, and because of stress, they're feeling fatigued. And if your body isn't getting enough of these B vitamins as well as the minerals that I've talked about last week and the week prior, then your body isn't being replenished. It's burning through them, it's using them up, and then it's not being replenished. And so it's natural that you would feel fatigued. So I highly recommend that you consider looking at where you can support your body from a nutrient perspective, in order to be able to have the energy level that you want. And if you are interested in learning more about running lab testing in order to figure out exactly where your vitamin and mineral levels are at, please reach out to me, at Melissa at your guidedhealthjourney.com,
