6 Benefits To Going Outside In The Fall And Winter

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a biological condition in which your body produces depression-like symptoms as a result of decreased exposure to sunlight and low levels of vitamin D. While you can’t sunbathe in 60-degree weather, the amount of light you can get even on cold, cloudy days is enough to counteract the most extreme symptoms of SAD. Make time to go on at least one short walk outside, on your lunch break, on your way home from work, or as an afterschool activity with the kids, to make sure you’re getting enough sun.
