Jen says: “Studies support the use of bright light to increase serotonin levels. I encourage all clients to get outside, even on the coldest winter days to gain exposure to natural light.“
“In an ideal world, we want to be getting as much daylight exposure during the working day as possible,” adds Dr Touroni. “Light has been linked to relieving problematic physiological symptoms like headaches, tension, sleep difficulties etc. And lack of light has also been linked to low mood.
