know is that nutrient deficits may put you at a higher risk for a serious psychiatric disorder like schizophrenia.
So how can you be proactive about schizophrenia?
– Eat a healthy diet, rich in antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables.
– Studies like the ones discussed here do not mean you should overload on nutrients and antioxidants. In fact, this can be detrimental. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that both patients and their providers consider both the risk and benefit of supplements prior to initiating treatment.
– Get a comprehensive nutrient test, at least annually, in order to determine whether you have any nutrient deficiencies and imbalances. After all, how can you increase or decrease specific nutrient intake without knowing what you are deficient in?
– If you do have nutrient deficiencies and imbalances, you may have to tweak your diet, take good quality supplements or even consider the use of liposomal technology.
Be aware of any medications you are taking (both prescription and over-the-counter), as these may deplete vital nutrients from your body.
Enjoy your healthy life!
