Daylight Saving Time Got You Down? Well, Guess What Can Brighten Your Mood?

Exercise, of course.  A current TIME.com slide show article  listed exercise as one of 8 ways to ward off the “Winter Blues.”  Michael Terman, director of the Center for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms at Columbia University Medical Center, noted that around 33% of patients who practiced regular aerobic exercise showed a “marked lift in depressed mood,” but only if they kept at it!  The good news is that socializing also made the list, so grab a friend, hit the gym, and really fight the “winter blues.”
