1) I feel low in the Winter/I keep catching colds/I have a lot of allergies/I have aches & pains.
2) I feel low a lot of the time.
3) I feel anxious/I can't sleep/I get muscle cramps or menstrual cramps/I'm constipated.
1) Hypovitaminosis D is rampant at this time of year (~90% of people have serum calcidiol less than 75nmol/L or 30ng/mL). People should be getting 50iu of Vitamin D3/kg body weight/day. See Vitamin D
2) Modern diets are very low in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) from oily fish. See Omega-3 fatty acids and major depression: A primer for the mental health professional
3) Modern diets are low in Magnesium. Hypomagnaemia can cause some or all of the above symptoms. See Magnesium: Just as important as Calcium.
Here's a picture to go with the title.
And finally...
I am so glad that I don't work with David Thorne.

Yeah, this reminds me I really need to push my wife to take more vit D and magnesium, she's basically spaces it if I don't say anything. And she's been hit a lot harder with colds this year than me. Of course, they are just suspects, it could just be stress or something else.
I have to take magnesium supplements and follow a ketogenic diet in order to prevent migraines. Looks like it is a flue prevention as well. In my case low-carbing resolved several health issues like leg edema, frequent urinary tract infections, mood swings, but only ketogenic diet stopped all colds, viruses, yearly bronchitis. I hope most people shouldn't go that far. It is inconvenient. But for me one apple (or any fruit) a day definitely doesn't keep a doctor away.
