Coffee is a stimulant so it countenances depression, at some low level, whi=

the latest research claims to have measured.
On the other hand, coffee is also a chemical which generates toxins in the=

body which increase stress, accumulation of fat, loss of hair, etc.
It seems to me that you can use coffee to publish any story in the papers t=

There's truth about the claim that staying indoors will not generally get y=

enough sunlight (being outdoors on a cloudy day will get you 10s to 100s ti=
mes=20
more light). Sunlight is extremely important both for SAD (especially if y=
ou=20

However, what comes with advancing age is a general decline in energy and=20
sight. This means that staring at a screen causes more noticeable eye stra=
in=20
than in the past. This also means that trying to process information which=
=20
requires any degree of concentration/intensity will cause tiredness. Hence=
,=20
it sucks life out of life. It takes longer to do what you used to do when=
=20
younger and there's less energy to do anything else if you spend hours in=20
front of a computer.
I think that the solution is to consciously try to take breaks away from=20
sitting in front of a PC and engage in more physical activity - ideally=20
outdoors.
