Alternative means of dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder, include being certain that you eat is really healthy and the exercise you do is sufficient. Often when we are feeling unhappy, we tend to not look after ourselves as well as we should and winter can be difficult to get sufficient exercise in many regions.

Ideally we should use all three methods:-
* A light therapy lamp
* Improving our diet, by eating healthy food
* Doing sufficient exercise to keep us in good shape

Healthy food is usually best found by purchasing fresh fish, meat, poultry and vegetables. In their natural form most fresh foods are gluten free. And Gluten is usually one of the main reasons we put on excess weight. Eliminate gluten and we eliminate that problem and should be conciderably healthier for it.

Doing sufficient exercise in winter can be difficult, but there are many ways we can get more exercise with a litle bit of effort.
Using the stairs instead of a lift is one method. Parking the car a little further from your regular shops is another. Doing simple exercises, at the time of day that suits you on a regular basis is another good habit to get into. Just start and do a few to get going and try to do it on a regular basis.

The other method of dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder, is to use a light therapy lamp on a regular basis. These lamps are much more powerful than your regular light bulb. Some use a white light and some use a blue light. If they use Led's, they will usually be smaller and lighter.
Be aware that a light therapy lamp is trying to mimic the intensity of spending time out in the sunshine. Natural sunlight should be the best method, but it is not always possible, so a good quality light therapy lamp should provide a better winter feeling.

Light Therapy Lamps cover a range of sizes, shapes and operational types.
* Does yours need to be easy to carry to work or somewhere else?
* What price range does your light therapy lamp need to be in?
* Should it run off rechargeable batteries or off the mains supply?
* Should it have a switchable timer?
* Which type of light should it use?
* Will you use it while carrying out other tasks, such as working at the computer or in the kitchen for example?
