Remote to sport in winter, the light track!

Remote to winter sport with daylight

Do not follow me to say to stay under the duvet, to listen to you, to tell you that “everything is fine, in lethargy, everything will be better in mid -April!” ». No. Far from me to blacken the painting, but if you stay at Metro-Boulot-Dado-Series-à-gogo hibernate … you will go less well in April. We are not marmots or bears. We are permanent movements. So in the spring after a winter without moving: you will have less muscles, less cardio, a good esteem of you and everything will have to be in mid -April in terms of form and sport. You will have to find the rhythm, find motivation, find muscles, find the cardio … and for once: find less well than the previous year, tell you that it is difficult and that you are aged and that you are not done for that … it is even more difficult! And you will have these thoughts to fight !!

I suggest you stop the mental and physical struggle and turn to light. Yes, the real culprit in this vicious circle of winter depression: it is the light of the day. This is what Rick de Paz, a pharmacist and micronutritionist explained to us during the life of The experience of the club This Tuesday evening.

Escape The Depression of Winter: Rediscover the light of the day

Basically, if you do not take the light of the day enough, you cannot make the hormones necessary for joy, motivation and rest (serotonin in particular, melatonin). These hormones need light to be made. Like many other hormones in fact! Most hormones (sexual, thyroid, mood, etc.) have as a fundamental element of their creation: exposure to the light of the day that blocks the circadian rhythm of our body.

I know that implementing change, especially in terms of sport, is not easy. I dedicate my life to this, and the more I am interested in this topic of change, the more I see how a complex topic is. In addition, what I offer today can speak with some, not others. In terms of humanity, nothing works in the same way for everyone. But whatever happens: try !! Try light, because it is a natural drug, very effective and for the universal blow. I’m not necessarily talking about the tropics sun. I’m just talking about day light. Even if it is gray. Even if Fogs, you will have 5000 – 7000 lux (unit of light), while in an ultra -lit shop, you are barely 1000 lux.

Avoid Blue Monday: Take 30 minutes of day light to revolutionize your well -being

Fyi, a Sun Sun Day gives 10,000 lux to our retina, and is very favorable to morality, to fall asleep, to the correct functioning of our human physiology. So you can walk, pedal, run or dance or what you want: but out !! Not behind a veranda window. OUT ! Outside, the day. So yes, after 8:30 in the morning at this moment, and yes before 17.30 you have 9 hours of day light to have fun. I know that some cannot, and also think a lot about you. Employee stores, workers in hospitals, offices staff who walk directly to the defense of the rer in turn without going through the box outside … I know that it is still a change to be implemented.

But really try it. Talk to your colleagues, your hierarchical superiors, show their studies! The sun is vital – summer and winter – for humans we are. We are not robot! Above all because it is still what is the most free in the world: the light of the day. Make a cure in the next 3 months and look at the difference. 30 minutes of day light, every day. Ideally more. Ideally be active.

And so yes, the question has already been asked, yes, we can replace with an exposure to light therapy, with lamps that transmit 10,000 lux. Personally, I tried and hated !! Drink my tea/work without moving too much in front of this ultra lamp near my face. I felt like I was in a science fiction film. I directed this lamp in the right corner. But you can try if you want.

Look at the study on day light.

Brill from the inside: day light, key to health and happiness

I am happy to offer you this solution and at the same time it frustrates me so much. How could we get there? Not even a nose out? Sometimes, sometimes several days in a row …

So, if you intend to take food supplements, rotate the sauce salad with vinegar in this way or that, take collagen for the skin … while you don’t spend 30 minutes out every day. Well, it’s useless. Since the exposure to the light of day is the vast majority of the problems of mistreatment, physiological dysfunctions. So start there! Food supplements are a detail, the icing on the cake when everything is already respected: (sport, balanced diet, sun, sleep, tobacco, alcohol, social relationships, etc.)

I would have liked to kick you with the buttocks. But I don’t even dare. I know that this month of January is difficult for some in terms of motivation. So I only send you light, day. Light in the eyes, on the skin, even blocked under a hat, a hood and a hot jacket. I send you a fog, pouring rain, veiled sun, great beautiful appearance, wind on the skin, it rains. All this. Go!
