Blue Monday is here, and even if this is a concept landed during a press release from a British Travel Company 2005. This is pretty much still here, happening each third Monday of January every year.
We dig on the topic, and we did not find any scientistic evidence. However, as the days grow darker and colder, many of us occasionally experience the ‘winter blues’.
Researchers have found that the lack of sunlight might stop the hypothalamus working properly and this may affect melatonin and serotonin production and our body internal clock which make us feel blue.
If you need help beating the winter blues, we have collected 5 easy steps to follow.
First, get outside as often as you can, especially on sunny days.
Second, include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet. Try to include food rich in vitamin D, if you are vegetarian don’t forget your daily vitamin D intake.
Third, practice exercise 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.
Fourth, include a self-care routine in your daily life as it helps with your wellbeing https://www.purevive.co.uk/post/a-skincare-ritual-to-boost-your-skin-and-your-soul-in-only-15-minutes
