Answer From Brent A. Bauer, M.D. The link between vitamin C and mood might seem surprising, but people who have vitamin C deficiency often feel fatigued or depressed. Some studies have shown that people who have lower than normal vitamin C levels found that their mood improved after they received vitamin C.

Learn More »The link between vitamin C and mood might seem surprising, but people who have vitamin C deficiency often feel fatigued or depressed. Some studies have shown that people who have lower than normal vitamin C levels found that their mood improved after they received vitamin C. But even for people who aren't known to have low vitamin C levels, taking a vitamin C supplement might help mood. In some studies, participants reported that vitamin C lowered their anxiety levels. More research is needed. But in the meantime, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and red peppers. If you also take a supplement, try not to exceed the upper limit of 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C a day. As always, talk with your doctor before taking any supplement.

Learn More »two to three times a week Many doctors say a daily shower is fine for most people. (More than that could start to cause skin problems.) But for many people, two to three times a week is enough and may be even better to maintain good health.
Regular bathing is obviously a healthy habit. So an extra shower a day may seem like more of a good thing. After all, showers clean your body. And cleaner is better, right? Well, not necessarily. It might be too much of a good thing. You want to shower enough to keep yourself clean (and not too smelly), but not so much that you dry out your skin and strip off its natural protective layer. So how often should you bathe? Though your family and friends may beg to differ, it might not be as often as you think. What Happens When You Shower Too Much? Normal skin has a protective layer of oil and a balance of “good” bacteria that help protect your skin from dryness and germs. If you clean it too often, especially with harsh soaps and lots of scrubbing, you can strip away this layer, leading to dry, irritated, itchy skin. This can cause cracks in the skin that allow germs and allergens to get through resulting in skin infections or allergic reactions. In addition, your body’s immune system needs some stimulation from germs, including those that live on your skin. If you scrub them away too quickly, your body doesn’t have a chance to produce the antibodies that protect against them. Antibacterial soaps can actually add to this by killing off the natural bacterial protection against more infectious germs on the skin that are harder to treat. This can make an even bigger difference in kids as their bodies develop. That’s why some pediatricians and skin doctors recommend against bathing children every day.
