5 Ways to Cope with the Winter Depression
Are grayer skies and colder temperatures making you blue? If so, you’re not alone. It’s common to feel winter depression, when the days get shorter, the nights get longer, and a lack of daylight causes hormonal changes in our bodies that lead to negative shifts in mood.
You might be able to pinpoint other specific qualities of the colder season that make you unhappy, such as a reduced ability to enjoy the outdoors, a minimization of opportunities to exercise, additional chores like shoveling and snow blowing, and a longer commute on slippery roads.
For many people, it’s even worse as they suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), defined as a type of clinical depression that presents itself only during the fall and winter.

Tai Chi Linked to Reduced Fall and Injury Rate in Elderly
As we age, our balance, coordination and flexibility begin to deteriorate. In combination with several other aging factors such as reduced bone density, decreases in eye vision, and lower levels of lean muscle mass, trips, slips, and falls that would have once resulted in minor scrapes and bruises could be far more dangerous, potentially resulting in broken bones and severe losses in mobility.
Fortunately, there are several ways for older adults to reduce their chances of falling and possibly breaking bones or incurring other more serious injuries.
