Soak up the sun
Yes, the sun can be elusive this time of year–so make your own! Light boxes are readily available and 30 minutes may leave you with more energy throughout the day. Full spectrum bulbs, which mimic natural daylight, are another option to research. Vitamin D is activated by sunlight—ask your doctor to check your level and supplement if necessary. When the sun does shine make sure to soak it up, take a walk or simply sit in the spot where it streams through the window.
