Magnetic bracelets versus winter blues

Magnetic Bracelets in winter

Magnetic bracelets are probably the best way to beat the winter blues. Okay? That's it. You heard it here first. No need for pussyfooting around or telling this truth any obscure, roundabout, half-assed way. Just come right out with the truth. And that's the truth in a nutshell.

What am I talking about, you're probably wondering? Why am I talking such absolute rubbish? How can magnetic jewellery cure winter depression?

Well that's a fair question. How indeed? But let's rewind here. Let's think about what this here "winter depression" or "January blues" actually is. First of all, we're not talking about clinical depression, which is caused by factors on the inside of the brain - the brain being, after all, a physical object. No, this is more psychological depression, caused by environmental factors. And the specific environmental factor here is seasonal. But still, you're asking, how do magnetic bracelets and other such jewellery help us get over it?

Well, let's see now. Most of us have heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known by that brilliantly witty acronym: SAD. We probably all have it in varying degrees and it is almost certainly hard-wired into our DNA. Animals have it too. That is why land animals hibernate, whilst birds migrate. Unfortunately, we human's can't do that. It just isn't practical. Neither our lifestyle nor our physiology allows it. Although evolution has probably burnt the desire to do so into our genes, other mutations have taken us beyond that and make us incapable of lasting through the winter without food. (Even if we can manage without magnetic jewellery.)

So we have to find or develop strategies to get around it or, better still, to overcome it completely. Now to some extent we have already done so. Christmas, after all, is a celebration involving food and drink and family gatherings in the height of winter. Food, drink and family is a powerful combination for beating the blues - at least if one is family-oriented. And then after Christmas, we have the New Year, which in some cultures is even more important than Christmas. But January is still colder, usually even colder than December.

But how can magnetic bracelets make a difference? Well first of all, I am not talking about the therapeutic powers of magnetic bracelets. Rather I am talking about their psychological powers. Winter depression is a psychological condition, not a physical one. It is linkedto cold weather and short dark days. Now obviously we can't do anything about the weather except wear warm clothing and turn up the central heating. Nor can we make the days any longer. But we can make them brighter.

And by that, I don't mean turn on the lights, I mean we can wear bright, shiny, sparkling jewellery. And that's wear magnetic jewellery enters the picture. It is a lot cheaper than precious metals and gemstones, yet to the naked eye is is just as bright and stimulating. And right now, Magnetic Products Store has a January sale in progress in which some items are reduced by as much as 80%.

So if you're looking for a way to brighten up the cold, gloomy month of January, you've just found it.
