Important Vitamins for a Veggie Diet

      Veganism and plant-based diets have begun to rise in popularity due to the plant-based industry creating so many new and innovative products. From the Impossible Whopper at Burger King to the Beyond Sausage breakfast sandwich at Dunkin', plant-based foods are becoming way more accessible than they used to be, and many of us are more than willing to try it out. While these diets are becoming more popular, it is important to keep in mind that with the food that you eat in these diets alone, it can be awfully hard, if not nearly impossible to find all your daily nutrients.  Wellspring Custom Pharmacy  in Ontario, Ohio, offers our customers a wide variety of supplements and vitamins that can help you to maintain a healthy diet when choosing which diet fits you.     While there are many differences in what a vegan would eat compared to what a vegetarian or plant-based diet consumer would eat, the nutrients that are needed are nearly identical.

                There are many stressors in life and for each person the cause of stress is completely different. That is why there is no true medicine to help get rid of, or cure stress. There are many go to things that can help calm you though, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and good nutrition, but not everyone has the means or ability to take time out for themselves like this. That is why here at Wellspring Pharmacy we offer many vitamins that can actually help reduce the side effects of stress like fatigue, headaches, upset stomach, nervousness, and even irritability.  Some of the vitamins that we offer at Wellspring Custom Pharmacy are: Rhodiola Rosea - this is a natural, non-toxic herb that stimulates the body's stress response system, helping to build stress resistance. Ashwagandha- this is another herb that is thought to enhance your body's resilience to physical and mental stress. It's properties have been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

Warmer Weather Boosts Your Mood

         The weather is warmer, the days are starting to get longer, and we are feeling good about ourselves. But why is that? Springtime is the time of rebirth and to start new and for many customers at Wellspring Custom Pharmacy, it is a time to feel better. One of the main reasons our moods lift when the seasons change from cold to warm is because we are getting more light and absorbing a larger amount of vitamin D. Vitamin D has many functions in the body, and this includes maintaining good bone, brain, and heart health. Low Vitamin D levels have been proven to be linked to depression, and this can include seasonal depression. This is because there are receptors in the brain that need this vitamin that are responsible for mood and behavior. The more sunlight you get, the more vitamin D can be absorbed through your skin, making you a happier, healthier person.           When someone is feeling happy, they are more likely to take care of themselves physically and mentally.  The warm
