Supplement your diet with more vitamiin D. We need more of tis than is provided by the additives in milk. Vitamin D builds bones, is good for arthritis, and is espe- cially helpful to babies born during the winter. Inexpensive 'outings' which will lift your spirits during the wlnter include visiting a local green house, buying fresh cut fiowers for under two dollars, attending a yoga or fitness class, or just having a won- darful putdoor walk. thought to be the best exercise of aIl. To top off your walk, wear a pair of yellow 'sun' glasses which maRe a gray day look sunny. Treat yourselif to a massage or aromatherapy session. Have an indoor or outdoor picnic and enjoy imported oranges and grape- fruit. Put on some lively music. It's not so much what the weather in the winter is like but in how you cope with it.
