Depleted diets cause 92 percent of us to be deficient in the nutrients needed for optimal brain and body function. Vitamins and minerals make the “happy mood” chemicals, cool inflammation, help you detoxify, make energy and much more. So take a daily multivitamin, omega-3 fat (fish) oil (1,000 mg), vitamin D3 (2,000 U), calcium and magnesium (600 mg to 400 mg), and the special brain-boosting B vitamins folic acid, B6 and B12. Take some probiotics to keep your gut healthy, because a happy gut is a happy brain.
