Cold Weather Blues


Weather does have a huge effect on our mood. The combination of long term cold and dark can become the 'winter blues'. The sudden severe cold causes 'hibernation mode' which can cause your metabolism to change. In this stage you will tend to eat more of the 'sweet' foods in your daily diet which invariably  lowers your energy level. You may even crave certain foods that are not particularly nutritious. You may have a low energy feeling and that makes you crave sugar , thus providing a only short term benefit. Yes, your emotions can definitely be affected by the weather. Of course there are two sides to every story-There is also a positive effect from good warm weather-so that is a plus that we in different areas of Canada have to look forward to in the upcoming seasons.
