I heard we all need natural light, especially in winter, with people staying indoors. People should buy special lights and soak in the natural light. Helps the body with vitamin D or maybe e..lol

Vitamin D consumption is a must as well. Woman have low counts of it and milk is not fortified enough.

And yes, I watch Oprah, is that ok? lol

Actually, lack of vitamins is one of the reasons to explain our depression and high crime rates.

Sounds a little Tom Cruise to me!

I Oprah and thank u for the info

but i thought u meant this Natural Light works for me

Well thanks for stating the obvious Oprah. I think we all know being out and about with people as opposed to sitting indoors with the curtains closed listening to Joy Division (sounds quite nice actually!) is better for you.

natural light is good for you.. its not big news.. you should all have natural light bulbs in your offices though..

Seasonal Affective Disorder

"cure" is a strong word!

"helps relieve" might be more fitting.

Exercise is supposed to help as well...

I have some in the fridge right now

babooshleeky said:

I'm coming over! Need some of the hair of the dog that bit me...

drinks with friends usually does it for me and when that's not possible working out does it every time.

Taking into account that Sweden (during it's long winter hardly gets any day light at all) has the highest suicide rate than any other country - there must be some truth to it!

I had a red lightbulb and a blue one.....and a green one!

I saw in the paper they had light "bars", places painted white with special lamps where you can hang out, have a coffee and read the paper.
Those daylight lamps should be handed out for FREE to everyone, sounds like they are expensive to buy.

Yes,,this is a very comman problem..its called SAD..seasonal affectivness disorder.
I have it..i also take vitamin D daily Last yr i bought an "Ott lite" from the shopping channel..it simulates Real sunlight & is great for reading or close work like sewing/knitting..etc

i hate winter b/c its so friggin gloomy & depressing.
