Sometimes its a frustrating battle uphill, to constantly monitor my health. Like any other person, I am conscious of hydrating, eating whole some etc. Because these things will contribute to better sleep patterns as well, and over all sp02% during sleep. I watch for trends, of that specifically because as someone who is deficient in iron, vitamin d, it is important to raise those levels, so I can be at "optimal" which will bring up those oxygen levels + lower anxiety.
I get frustrated though.
Because how much of explaining you have to do when someone doesn't understand those health jargons, and it must be nice to never worry about how much oxygen is running in your body. Or, anxiety itself.
You see, during the day my oxygen levels are normal. But during sleep, it tends to dip and I know that is normal-but if it dips for too long, then it indicates my poor red cells are not enough in my body.
Things I have been doing that I have been seeing improvement, to be hanging out in the 95-96% bracket:
- Green Blend Superfood: Has lots of veggies, probiotics to support gut health! Even has 8% of iron in it, and vitamin k worth of 57%! Which is important, if you wish to target your gut health, and the effective use of vitamin d3 ( if you supplement that on the side ). They always say gut health is linked to your mental health. If your gut isn't happy, your brain isn't gonna be! I have noticed a difference in consuming this powder, in 16 oz daily.
- Vitamin D3: Gummies of 2,000 IU's, though I am ready to go up a level to 3,000 IU's. Who to thought this simple vitamin that we make in the sun πis that important! I also didn't know it was a hormone. It helps regulate your moods, and sleep cycles. When, I am getting enough of this vitamin, I have noticed I sleep better ( than before ), and less anxiety. I also try to make a routine of going out in the sunlight for natural production of vitamin d3! At least, 10-20 minutes of sunlight, where its not to the point I am getting burned. You can also consume vitamin d, in fortified foods and drinks such as cereal, milk, and fish + others.
- Stretching&Walking: Sadly, I do not walk enough on my treadmill, because of the low iron thing makes me feel worn out. But I try to stretch, and march in place in the very least. By doing this, you can oxygenate your blood getting it to flow and move around. It also feels nice, right after you work up a sweat! And a nice feeling when you can sit down, and drink some iced water.
