Sun Can Help

"'Sunlight can prevent dips in serotonin, a mood-boosting brain chemical that is also partly responsible for feelings of fullness,' says Norman E Rosenthal, M.D., author of Winter Blues. Even a heavy dose of artificial light, especially in the morning, may help suppress food cravings and the urge to overeat."--Fitness Magazine February 2006.
