(NC)-Mid-winter depression is common in colder cli
mates like Canada. Here are some simple ways to beat the
winter blahs.
1. Keep active. Exercise is a healthy alternative that will
keep your mind and body in shape.
2. Get fresh air. Get outside, even for brief periods, to
cleanse your mind and revitalize your spirit.
3. Avoid alcohol or drugs. Chemical depressants can
have detrimental effects and can trigger depression.
4. Soak up some sun. Going out on a sunny winter day
can help to increase your level of Vitamin D, a natural
depression-fighter.
5. Get plenty of rest. Fatigue can be harmful in many
ways, including your mental disposition.
6. Be involved. Social and recreational activities are a
great way to chase away the blues while also providing
healthy exercise and stimulating mental activity.
7. Eat right. Cold, dark days can rob your body of essen
tial nutrients. Make sure you feed your needs.
8. Take a holiday. You don’t have to take an expensive

Don’t let winter get you down
vacation to reduce the effects of day-to-day stress. Give
yourself a break regularly-even an afternoon outing will
make a positive difference.
9. See your doctor. Sometimes depression gets out of
control. In fact, it can be a medical condition that
requires treatment. If you can’t seem to shake the blues,
see your doctor for help.
10. Exercise your mind. Long winter days are a great
time to learn new skills, which will occupy your lime and
keep your mental faculties alert.
First aid training is your best defence in an emergency.
