Is your ultra-processed diet wreaking havoc on your mental health?

Certain nutrients are required to metabolize refined starches and turn them into energy, and vitamin B1 (thiamine) is one of them. Vitamin B1 is not stored in the body in large amounts, so consuming refined starches can quickly cause you to become deficient.

If you suspect a vitamin B1 deficiency, the following foods are the best sources:

-Meat, especially pork

-Liver

-Eggs

-Sunflower seeds

If you want to supplement with vitamin B1, look for the natural form called allithiamine. Benfotiamine is also a good supplement form of vitamin B1.

Research over the last several decades has challenged the idea that avoiding nighttime breastfeeding helps prevent postpartum depression—in fact, it may do the opposite. Breastfeeding mothers tend to get more and better quality sleep, which plays a vital role in protecting their mental health during the postpartum period.

Vitamin D reduces liver damage

Vitamin D is commonly consumed for enhanced bone health. This study opens exciting possibilities for repurposing an inexpensive supplement as a complementary therapy for liver diseases. The researchers have studied the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic implications of Vitamin D in liver disease.

Ductular reaction refers to the proliferation of ductular cells (primarily cholangiocytes) in response to liver injury. While initially protective, excessive or prolonged ductular reaction contributes to inflammation and fibrosis. In this study, researchers observed that lower plasma levels of vitamin D were associated with more severe ductular reaction in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).

Vitamin D upregulates the expression of TXNIP (Thioredoxin-interacting protein). This was confirmed in a mouse study where Txnip deletion in cholangiocytes promoted ductular reaction and even exacerbated liver inflammation and fibrosis. In vitro analysis revealed the Vitamin D/TXNIP molecular axis. “Furthermore, Txnip deficiency increases TNF-α and TGF-β secretion by cholangiocytes to stimulate Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells, consequently leading to inflammation and collagen deposition,” adds the author.
