EmoCare Campaign: Emotions, The Foundation to “Wealth”! 🌞💆♀️
By Alpro Pharmacy
April 16, 2025
SHARE:
A stable mood is not only the key to a happy life but also an important factor in boosting work efficiency and creating “wealth”! 💛 Do you often feel tired, emotionally down, or stressed? These might be related to vitamin D and magnesium deficiencies in your body!
Vitamin D doesn’t just affect bone health—it’s also closely tied to your mood and energy levels. A lack of it can leave you feeling sluggish, struggling to concentrate, and even impair your decision-making abilities.
👇 Take this quick test! Do you do these daily?
✅ Get 15–20 minutes of morning sunlight outdoors?
✅ Walk at least 10,000 steps a day?
✅ Regularly supplement with vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium?
✅ Drink enough water (at least 2 litres daily)?
✅ Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night?
If you’re missing 3 or more of these habits, you might be facing a hidden vitamin D and magnesium deficiency!
| Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency | Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency |
|---|---|
| Easily fatigued, sleepy | Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety |
| Low mood, lack of motivation | Muscle cramps, tightness |
| Bone or muscle aches | Disrupted sleep, unable to stay asleep |
| Poor sleep quality, difficulty falling asleep | Frequent headaches or migraines |
| Weak immunity, frequent colds | Difficulty focusing, easily distracted |
Why Vitamin D and Magnesium Matters?🩸🌟
Did you know? Over 50% of Malaysians are deficient in vitamin D! This “sunshine vitamin” plays a crucial role in our mood, energy, sleep quality, and emotional stability. A deficiency can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and poor sleep—which, if severe, can affect daily life and productivity.
Another often-overlooked nutrient—magnesium—is just as essential. It’s involved in over 300 metabolic functions, including muscle relaxation, nerve function, mood regulation, heart health, anxiety relief, and sleep improvement.
How does Vitamin D and Magnesium play into this?
Vitamin D & Sleep
Research shows that vitamin D is crucial for melatonin production (the hormone that regulates our sleep cycle). A deficiency can disrupt sleep, leading to fragmented rest and poor sleep quality. In fact, a study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that vitamin D deficiency is linked to shorter sleep duration and lower sleep efficiency—especially in children.
Magnesium: Nature’s Relaxant
Magnesium helps calm the nervous system, reduces stress hormones (like cortisol), and is vital for easing anxiety and tension. It also supports GABA, a neurotransmitter that “quiets” the brain, promoting better sleep. Studies show that magnesium deficiency can cause irritability, insomnia, cramps, and poor concentration.
Why People tend to have a higher risk of deficiency?
1️⃣ Not Enough Sunlight
Office workers & students stay indoors too much
Hot weather makes people avoid outdoor activities
Sunscreen & umbrellas block over 90% of vitamin D production
2️⃣ Unbalanced Diet
Too much fast food & processed meals
Insufficient of whole foods consumption (e.g., ikan kembung, spinach, almonds)
Fizzy drinks & caffeine speed up magnesium loss
3️⃣ Darker Skin Needs More Sun
Melanin reduces vitamin D absorption, requiring longer sun exposure
4️⃣ High-Stress Lifestyle
Work pressure, late nights, and excessive screen time deplete magnesium faster
How to Improve? (Malaysian-Friendly Tips!)
✅ Sunbathe 10–15 mins daily (morning/evening, avoid peak UV)
✅ Eat magnesium-rich foods: Bananas, nuts, whole grains
✅ Choose local vitamin D-rich fish: Ikan sardine, ikan tenggiri
✅ Cut back on coffee/energy drinks to prevent magnesium loss
