Full Spectrum Lights Work Better Than Prozac

Researchers at the University of British Columbia conducted a study that showed how full spectrum light is effective for major depression. Not only did this study show that full spectrum light was effective, but it out performed the SSRI Drug Prozac !!

What was even more humorous was that the placebo was more effective than Prozac (laughing hard)

I recommend full spectrum light during the winter and fall months to anyone who suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), depression, anxiety, or a weakened immune system.

In the summer time spend as much time in the sun as you can (without sun screen !!)
Just make sure you do not burn your skin.

Boost Your Vitamin D Levels In A Cool Way

Many People know that Vitamin D plays an important role in bone formation but not to many people are aware of Vitamin D's other important roles. Over the last couple of years scientific research has been piling up on Vitamin D's other roles like immune enhancement, cardiovascular health, mental health, reducing the risk of diabetes, and preventing autoimmune diseases.

The best way to get Vitamin D is from the sun (without sun screen) This is how we were designed to get it.  Our skin acts like solar panels which convert ultraviolet energy into biochemical energy !!

During the fall and winter this poses a problem for us since most people are not living in sunny regions. Many people resort to Vitamin D3 supplements which are ok, but I prefer a better way; Full spectrum lights.
