Phosphorus is a mineral that is essential for energy production and the regulation of mood and anxiety. Found in foods such as meat, dairy products, and nuts, phosphorus plays a crucial role in the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Research has shown that phosphorus deficiency is associated with increased fatigue, irritability, and mood disturbances. Ensuring adequate phosphorus intake through diet or supplementation can help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall mental health. The connection between phosphorus and mental well-being underscores the importance of maintaining adequate levels of this essential mineral to support emotional balance.
