The Philips goLITE BLU Helps You Kick Winter Blues

— November 21, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Philips goLITE BLU is a portable 'energy light' that produces a special blue light that lets you enjoy the energy-boosting benefits of light therapy. The winter season means less sunlight and more gloomy days, resulting in winter blues. In fact, many people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, a condition where energy levels and mood suffer due to reduced light exposure.

The goLITE BLU produces a specific type of pure blue light that occurs naturally on sunny days. Your ocular receptors absorb this light, which helps you feel more energetic. This light will help you maintain a summery disposition and good energy level during the darkest and gloomiest of periods.

All you have to do is place the device near you for about 15 minutes a day to experience the mood-enhancing effects. Using it every morning during the winter months is claimed to significantly reduce the winter blues. The light is completely safe and 100% UV-free, and has been clinically proven to be effective in mitigating winter blues.
