Feeling a bit down lately? Well, you're not alone! Approximately 1 in 16 people will feel the winter blues! That's a lot of people! Here are a few tips to keep you happy and healthy this cold season.
1. Brighten your lights. It's been proven that 20 minutes a day three feet away of less from a 300 watt bulb with help ease those sad feelings. Even a tanning bed for five minutes will suffice.
2. Exercise. Whether you go to the gym, hit up a zumba class, or just turn the radio on and dance around your house, any way you choose will help boost your mood and make you feel happier.
3. Watch what you eat. Try to steer clear of those high sugar, high carb items like cake and rice. Instead opt for those fruits and veggies!
4. Take up a winter activity. Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledding, the list goes on and on. Choose one or two and get out there!
5. Brighten up your home. You may be surprised at how much the color of your walls can effect your mood! By simply changing the color of your kitchen or living room, or adding a colorful painting can change your day.
6. Limit your caffeine intake. Instead of coffee, opt for an herbal tea. Try to limit your alcohol intake as well. Being drunk may lead to a deeper depression.
Hope these tips help you in aiding your winter blues. Stay warm this winter! :)
