Mental health in winter ❄️
It is common that people feel depressed or more stressed during winter. Here’s why and how to deal with the mental health.
With less sunlight, serotonin level will be reduced, as well as higher melatonin with darker environment 🕶️. If you don’t see the natural sunlight in the morning, your circadian rhythm will be also disrupted ⏱️ . Finally, cold weather leads us to have less activities outside.☃️
To prevent from mental disturbance in winter, you may need to increase light exposure🏃♂️. Also,manage exercise and sleeping schedule 🛌. In terms of nutrition, vitamin D tends to be deficient in winter due to lack of sunlight. Other balanced nutritional management (omega-3) would be also beneficial to regulate energy metabolism system.
Changing your behavior is sometimes challenging. Use social groups or work on your metal health with your friends. Stay warm, stay healthy.😌
