December 22, 2006, Newsletter Issue #178: Lighten Up Depression

Tip of the Week

Dr. Jonathan Zuess, a Phoenix-based psychiatrist, recommends an hour walk in the early morning sun as one of the best natural antidepressant helpers. Light is VITAL for our bodies to maintain production of key hormones and brain chemicals, so getting too little light can create a problem, namely depression. Donīt let the lack of sunlight trigger this problem, especially during the winter or rainy months. If you canīt go strolling in the sun make it a priority to purchase a full-spectrum light box and full-spectrum light bulbs, which mimic natural light. These can be purchased at most natural health stores or check out Internet listings for full-spectrum light products.
