MAMA SAID THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THIS

Are you in a funk?

The holiday season is here.  A busy fun-filled time of the year spent with family and friends, lots of parties, rich food and tons of shopping.  

Unfortunately for many, this is the time of year that they experience what’s known as “Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)”.   SAD is a form of depression.  The actual cause of SAD is unknown but the symptoms can include fatigue, moodiness, difficulty sleeping, low energy, and increased appetite.

Consult your doctor if you think you may be suffering from SAD.

The good news is that there are some simple ways to help.  Regular exercise, eating a well balanced diet, and spending more time outside in the sun all have been known to ease the symptoms.

Don’t let SAD keep you in a funk this holiday season.   Get up and get moving, get outside and soak up the sunshine, and get into eating more organic whole foods. 

Take time out of this busy holiday season to take care of you.
