Autumn is here, the weather is usually gray, the days are getting shorter - it starts the dark season. For many people this is the beginning and the autumn blues. Concerning the seasonal phenomenon - by the experts 'Seasonal Affective Disorder' SAD just called - almost exclusively adults, mostly women. The symptoms in addition to a high need for sleep and lack of drive, frequent mood changes, concentration problems and the cravings are for sweets.
The main cause of the fall of Blues: lack of light. Light is absorbed through the eyes and directly transported into the brain. There, the production of endorphins and mood-brightening of the neurotransmitter 'serotonin' is encouraged. Are we missing light does not work, the 'production of happiness' in the brain. In the darkness is amplified instead 'melatonin', produces a substance that actually also controls sleep. It ensures that you are feeling tired and listless.

Especially dairy and whole grain products, including bananas, fruit and poultry are magnesium giants. The iodine-bomb sushi can provide a good mood: iodine mobilizes and stimulates the thyroid Cell metabolism - a boost of energy for the body. Enjoyed in moderation can also chocolate - 'blissful' make: It stimulates the production of serotonin in the brain.
In addition you should bring color in the drab everyday life. Colored clothing, room decor or a colorful bouquet of flowers lift the mood and encourage creativity.
The course helps the solarium on the way, do not fall blues away on the sun's ultraviolet rays of the Bank, only light can be absorbed through the skin. The endorphin production starts only when light on the eyes directly into the 'feel-good center' is transported in the brain. The eyes must, however, before the UV radiation from solariums are protected.
