Title: I am more stressed during the winter
Post by: Vandemolen on February 11, 2012, 08:12:35 AM

I am more stressed during the winter. How about you? And what is the reason? Lack of vitamin D? In the last 3 years everytime I get stressed during the winter.

Yes. I think next year I will spend my big holiday of the year during the winter in a warm country. And have a small holiday in the summer.

I already take vitamin D during the winter. But it seems that it doesn't help. Those lamps are very expensive and I am not sure it will work.

Go to one of the tanning booths, maybe a couple of times per month. It helps process the vitamine D.

Not necessary to get a tan, just absorb a few rays. You'll feel more energetic, less sluggish.
