Boosting wellness in 5 minutes or less! Tip 6 of 7

1/5/2013

Bask in bright light! Research into mood disorders confirms that people get a powerful surge of energy and enhanced mood when exposed to sunlight or bright indoor light. Research has found that summer sunlight increases the brain’s serotonin levels twice as much as winter sunlight. In fact some centers in the UK, and other countries where the weather is gloomy year-round, have stopped treating depression with medication and instead are treating patients with exposure to artificial sunlight - and the results are quite astounding! 
Each day, get 5 minutes of non-peak sun (before 10am or after 3pm) without sunscreen or sunglasses to enjoy the full mood-lifting effects of sunlight (try to do this a few times a day). If you live in a country where you don't see the sun often, change your indoors bulbs to full-spectrum "daylight" bulbs and try to keep your environment as bright as possible all the time, whether at home or in the office.
