Reach for the sun

Less sunlight in the winter months makes us feel down in the dumps and depressed. We are often tempted to snack ourselves into a better frame of mind. We can elevate our mood with exposure to sunlight. In spite of the cold, take a brisk walk and soak up those winter rays. Even opening a window, throwing back the curtains and enjoying some fresh air for a few minutes will do wonders in lifting your spirits.

It does not have to be inevitable that we pack on the pounds during our winter hibernation. With raised awareness and some behavior modification, we can weather the season with our eating under control, and avoid the annual springtime frenzy to shed winter weight in time for the next bathing suit season.
