ADJUSTING TO

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS Try on a few of these tips to help support the production of Vitamin D in the body and fight off the winter blues.

Rise Earlier

Get Moving

Ok, ok we know, you don't want to wake up earlier, but this can be done gently over time and will increase your exposure to sunlight throughout the day. Try setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier to start and gradually work towards your new rise time.

Studies show that regular exercise is linked to higher levels of Vitamin D. Use your work break to take a walk with a coworker, or go for a walk with your pet if you're working from home.

Get Outside Early

Eat Vitamin D Rich Foods

Exposure to cool air wakes you up and stimulates the senses, communicating that it's time to be alert for the day. Try weaving this into your morning routine (i.e. enjoying your coffee outside.)

Eating vitamin D rich foods, like salmon, egg yolks, and mushrooms support the production of vitamin D in the body. Try adding one or more of these into your meals to support healthy levels of Vitamin D.

Work Near a Window Expose yourself to natural light while working during the day by positioning your desk near a window. During the winter months, sun exposure and increased vitamin D can help fight seasonal mood disorder.
