B Vitamins are vital for health and are found in a variety of foods. Energy slumps can be a sign that you need to eat more foods that contain B Vitamins, as digestive health relies on B Vitamins for stomach acid production (which helps break down proteins) and stress hormone production uses up large quantities of B Vitamins (as well as magnesium and Vitamin C). The next few days will go into the different B Vitamins, today focusing on Vitamin B6. To learn more about how the family of B Vitamins help the brain, mood and energy watch this video with Dr Tracey Marks a Psychiatrist who makes youtube playlists on depression, anxiety and much more - she's fantastic!
Hello! 🍌 Boost your brain health and nerves with Vitamin B6!
Vitamin B6 is essential for brain development and function. It helps in the creation of neurotransmitters, which regulate emotions and cognitive abilities. It also aids in protein metabolism and red blood cell production and helps the body make antibodies to help us fight infections. B Vitamins help the body cope better with stress (along with magnesium and Vitamin C) as the adrenal glands use them to create adrenaline and cortisol,
our vital stress responders.
Sources: Bananas, chickpeas, butter beans (these powerhouse beans also contain B1, B2, B9 and Vitamin A), potatoes, chicken, milk, pork, spinach and in many more foods!
Recipe: Try a Juicy Chicken with Butter bean broth! So flavourful and hearty!

Have a wonderful day - and remember to eat the rainbow!
Be extraordinarily radiant today, be gentle, be strong!
Fleur :)
