Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the winter blues; it's a real and challenging condition that affects many individuals during the colder months. At Resolution CrossFit, a family-owned and operated gym since 2010, we care about your overall well-being. In this article, we'll explore SAD, its symptoms, and how exercise, particularly CrossFit, can be a valuable tool in managing this condition.
Shedding Light on SAD Symptoms
- Mood Changes: SAD often leads to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and irritability, impacting your overall mood. 
- Energy Slump: You may experience low energy levels and increased fatigue, making it harder to stay active. 
- Appetite Changes: SAD can cause overeating, especially with a craving for high-carb and sugary foods, leading to potential weight gain. 
Exercise as a Natural SAD Remedy
- Endorphin Boost: Regular exercise, like CrossFit, releases endorphins, helping combat feelings of depression and anxiety associated with SAD. 
- Enhanced Sleep: Exercise promotes better sleep quality, which can be disrupted by SAD-related insomnia.
