     December starts a period of the lowest amounts of sunshine and Vitamin D during the year. It also is the start of Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms that can cause depression and/or anxiety. Everyone wants to leave this state for a few weeks to bring back our energy levels that came from our highest nutrient available. Sunshine makes Vitamin D. When we cannot get the amount of Vitamin D needed to produce serotonin, our happy hormone, we need to consider an alternative source of sunlight. The biggest help with S.A.D. that I am aware of are the Full Spectrum OTT Lites. These lights are full spectrum balanced lights that give us the daily requirement of Vitamin D needed to keep us symptom free. You may need to sit in front of the light for 1-2 hours daily, but the 10,000 Lux Lite Boxes available allow us to move about the room during this therapy time. So give yourself the gift of light this Christmas Season and order a Lite Box on line through www.fullspectrumsolutions.com or enter a search on google.com to find one of the many companies that sell these full spectrum lites. You and your family will have a happy holiday season during the cold and dark periods of winter.
