If you feel depressed, hopeless, fatigued (more than usual), your appetite is increased and you gain weight;
if you need much more sleep and have difficulty to concentrate, you might have a Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Seasonal Depression or Winter Blues normally occur during cold fall/winter season because of lack of vitamin D(not enough exposure to Sun), and low level of serotonin. Recipes to boost your serotonin level.
As we all know, laughter is the best medicine, because it reduces stress, boosts immune system, lowers blood pressure(especially in women), eases pain (you can completely forget about pain or ache while laughing), and of course helps reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Oh, and did I mention that laughter moves our lymph and increases oxygenation which helps to detox our body?
But the most important is that laughter helps us to raise serotonin level which is very important for fighting our winter blues.
So let us laugh !!!!

“Man has will, but woman has her way.”– Wendell Holmes
“Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we’ve always had: work or prison.” Tim Allen

“When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country.”– Elayne Boosler
“Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can’t get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.” — Yul Brinner.
“From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away.” — Raymond Chandler
“Any woman can fool a man if she wants to and if he’s in love with her.”– Agatha Christie
Laughter makes us feel better and happier, and it is exactly what we need during cold winter days when seasonal depression might occur.
Let us be SAD smart by using laughter therapy to heal ourselves from winter blues.
Breathe, smile and be happy.
