Here’s a good lecture on the benefits and consequences of a deficiency in vitamin D:

Even if you don’t want to be a bronzed god, maybe a few minutes a couple of times a week in a tanning bed would help?

Christmas in Australia: a haze of beer, sunshine and long hours sprawled in front of the fan napping.

I think I’d sell my grandmother for your cold weather!

The gym wins until spring… ;) As for yummy hot beverages, I would recommend you to visit a tea store and ask for recommendations. The guys working there are normally really good in finding something for each taste, and in many stores (at least in Germany) you may also try before buying. If there’s no store near by, Chinese supermarktes may be a good alternative. If you’re lucky, the clerks can recommend you their personal favorites, and while you probably won’t be able to try it in the store, there are some great and unexpensive Chinese teas for sure.</p> Okay, hiking on ice doesn’t sound too enjoyable.

While it made me have more energy, it just wasn't sustainable. So far, running is the only thing I've found that feels "different" every day even though I do the exact same thing.</p> Last year at this time I was exercising, but I hadn’t yet found out I like to run so I was doing things that were tedious and boring.
