DON'T BE SAD THIS WINTER!
Do
you:
- Sleep more?
- Eat Excessively?
- Feel more anxious/gloomy?
- Have more mood swings?
You
may have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)
WHAT IS SAD?
A type of depression that is
seasonal and believed to be caused by the lack of light, causing more secretion of melatonin.
High levels of this "sleep
hormone" can cause depression and lead to carbohydrate cravings.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT
SAD?
- Open the drapes and add more light to your day
- Consider a light box (simulates sunlight without
harmful UV rays)
- Exercise
Studies show an exercise program is equal to routine doses of Zoloft,
a popular antidepressant.
So... get outside for a brisk walk.
Too cold? Join
the mall walkers and feel better! Stair climbing and exercise bicycle riding are other options.
Strength
training has also been shown to reduce anxiety and depression and may result in overall psychological well being.
Call
for specific exercise recommendations. Ask about our affordable three month gym package.
Remember,
if regular exercise does not solve your problems with depression or anxiety, you should seek professional help.
