Winter depression
We all look forward to the winter and dream to walk through the snow, play snowballs, and just enjoy the sunny frosty days. However, along with all the pleasures of life, winter brings us a lack of sunlight, and as a result - apathy, lack of sleep and a state of chronic fatigue.
Winter depression - not at all uncommon in our time. For many, it is associated with the end of the year, when you need to have time to do a lot of things. Others covers sadness after the stormy holidays. Depression is a state where everything around you seems dull and uninteresting. We complain of poor appetite, depressed mood and frequent headaches. Not even happy with the weekend - I want to get under the covers with a cup of hot coffee ... No ideas and a complete lack of inspiration.
Fortunately, to overcome the winter depression is not so difficult. Here are some simple tips for raising the pep in the winter.
More sunshine!
Try to be more often on the street, go on foot. Fresh air and sunshine are excellent antidepressants.
Pay attention to physical exertion
It is no secret that during exercise in our body endorphins are released - hormones of joy. Therefore, every day, take 10-15 minutes of physical activity. It is not only useful for the whole body, but also helps to relieve stress. And you can go to the gym and do, for example, fitball or step aerobics.
Maximum useful nutrition
To help the body cope with the winter blues, it is recommended to eat properly and abandon any diet. Increase your intake of foods rich in carbohydrates and fiber. Poultry, beef, eggs, fish - contain a large amount of vitamin A, which is so necessary for us in the winter season. And do not forget about honey, because this is a real storehouse of vitamins for our body.
Relaxation, communication, aromatherapy ...
It is necessary to rest, and in winter it is desirable to do it as often as possible. Just allow yourself to relax a little, to get away from everyday life - listen to good music, watch the good old comedy. Invite guests, arrange a party! Do not forget about aromatherapy. She is very good at coping with winter breakdown.
And finally, smile more often! Do not forget that winter is a temporary phenomenon, which will be replaced by spring.
