Shake off the blues before they begin this season
26 Oct 2024 by Ted Escobedo 2 min read
If you are like millions of people who experience a lull in their emotional health because of shorter days and less sunlight, here are some things you can do to head it off at the pass:
• Make a habit of getting out for a daily walk. This helps your mood by breathing in fresh air and providing a change in scenery, all while exercising.
• Add vitamin D into your diet and nutritional changes. Consult with a nutritionist or physician on what kinds of things you should target in your diet or what you should increase.
• Plan fun activities and stick to those commitments. Get social with friends and family. This helps stimulate your mind and mood by being around others.
• Move your body with physical activity. It doesn't have to be hard exercise, but moving your body will provide physical stimulation. If you can participate in an exercise group or class, that allows you to get physical and social benefits.
