Got the Winter Blues?

Holy crap are we ever getting a LOT of snow today! And the gloomy weather doesn't only frustrate ya, it also messes with your metabolism, hormones, libido... in short, everything!

So here's a few ways to get out of the cold-day slumps...

* Consider a light box. They can elevate your serotonin levels and reset your internal clock to a spring/summer schedule.
*Talk your way to feeling better. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can relieve depressive symptoms in just a few months.
*Invest in an electronical ionizer machine which mimicks summer air and combats SAD
*Get a solid D-fense! Vitamin D is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin and helps with depression, plus a million other things, so why not take it?!
*60 minutes of indoor cardio is just as effective as the rest of the suggestions. One study showed people who walked 3-4 times a week for 4 months saw their depression subside!

No harm in trying any of these remedies and find what works for you to get you out of those winter blahs!
