For many, this time is often the darkest of the year as winter has settled in for a long, dreary stay. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive has brought confirmation to many U.S. adults' suspicions: winter blues are not a myth. Nearly two thirds of U.S. adults (64 percent) agree that they are usually in a better mood during the summer than the winter. “What does that mean?” Lets look more closely: Dieticians recommend incorporating a natural mood lifting supplement to help lift low winter moods. S-adenosylmethionine, better known as SAM-e, is a naturally occurring compound produced by the body and found in all living cells. Clinical studies show a direct correlation between low levels of SAM-e and low mood. Eating mood-boosting foods during the season known for overeating can also help: "Certain foods, like too much saturated fat, can lower mood, while super mood foods, such as fish rich in omega 3s, foods high in protein and leafy green vegetables, can help combat winter blues." Ultimately, if you get plenty of exercise, eat a well-balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, spend quality time with loved ones and try to get outdoors to make sure you are getting enough sunlight, your mood should improve.
