Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid helps the body to make energy from fat, protein, and carbohydrates. It also plays an important role in nerve health and helps to rebuild tissue.
Vitamin b5 deficiency is rare but when it occurs the mood is affected as well as other issues such as fatigue.
I was born in the Caribbean where everything I ate was organic - but I didn't even know it then. Then I realized foods cooked with minimally processed ingredients just tasted better, more wholesome. I spent years trying to make almost everything myself. I went to the extremes and then balanced out a bit. I now live in the US where life can be really busy at times. I am still very passionate about eating clean, but recognize that its not always possible. My articles emphasize this mind-set. I don't want to shame someone for eating processed foods, but my goal is to research and educate and then encourage living a healthier lifestyle when life allows it.http://159.65.166.150
