Recommendations
for Use of Light Box:
You should use your light box for
20-30 minutes per day (5-7 days per week or as
needed), sitting directly in front of your unit within 24 inches.
You can sit in front of it a little further away for a longer period o f time,
just make sure that the light is entering into your eyes
(not the side of your face).
In addition to your bright light therapy, the following recommendations will
enhance the treatment of depression, winter blues and SAD:
-
Avoid wheat, sugar and other refined
carbohydrates.
-
Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
-
Exercise daily. If you can’t get outside to
enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, the next best thing is turning on your
light box while walking on the treadmill or exercising at home. (I have
found
www.collagevideo.com to be a great
resource for exercise videos/DVD’s. There are 1000’s of selections and the
best part is you get to watch a 60 second clip of any video so you know what
you’re getting.)
-
Eat food high in vitamin B 1, including
brewer’s yeast, broccoli, brown rice, brussels sprouts, eggs, asparagus,
fish, poultry, whole grains, legumes, oatmeal, nuts and raisins.
-
Eat food high in vitamin B 12, such as fish,
cheese, eggs, beef, chicken, turkey, milk and yogurt.
-
Eat foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus
and other fruits.
-
Read, grow, learn.
www.hayouse.com
is an incredible resource of books, DVD’s and other materials for anyone
that is interested in healing, expanding their mind, or continuing to learn
and grow---another great way to spend time in front of your light box!
