Get Out of the House and Into the Spa

An article in Times Online talks about the depression some feel during the winter months. The best way to beat this depression is exposing yourself to light. But, on a day like today when the clouds are hanging low, a trip to the spa can raise your spirits quickly. The author writes " Of course, even when you're feeling good, spa treatments can cheer you up (arduous research by, well, me demonstrates that the longer the massage, the better). But light treatment is a proven antidote to seasonal affective disorder – a type of depression that sufferers experience during winter months with symptoms such as low moods, cravings for carbohydrates, and the tendency to gain weight and sleep more." A massage can bring you out of the winter blues and get you ready to go back out there. Don't let the winter get you down, get out of the house and into the spa.
