We have a huge weight on our shoulders, we don’t want to get out of bed in the morning, we yawn all day, we work slowly. Nature is renewing itself, violets and dandelions emerging, birds nesting. Spring is here and with it comes spring fatigue, which can be effectively combated with a few useful practices.
Hormones
Like so many things, the onset of spring fatigue is partly due to processes in our hormonal balance. During the winter months, serotonin and melatonin deficiencies can develop in our bodies, making us feel more tired. In addition to hormones, our diet can also play a role in depression, as we eat less fresh fruit and vegetables in winter, and if the vitamins in these are not supplemented with the right products, mineral and vitamin deficiencies can develop. Moreover, during the cold months, our instinct is to eat fatty and calorie-dense foods, so we inevitably put on a few pounds – which also doesn’t help us to welcome spring in an optimistic, excellent shape.
Let’s move more often!
Nowadays, we hear more and more often that regular exercise, tailored to our needs, health and physical condition, can not only help prevent disease, but can also boost our energy levels, activity and concentration. Exercise in oxygen-rich, open air with more intense stretches – dynamic walking, jogging, running, cycling, hiking – not only improves our circulation, strengthens our muscles, bones and immune system, but also increases the production of various hormones and beneficial compounds. After a good workout, we sleep better and start the day with more energy.
Let’s eat differently!
There are more and more fancy diets to choose from these days, so it’s worth seeking expert advice before making any drastic changes to your diet to revive for spring. As a general advice, eating smaller amounts of food several times a day is less stressful for the body. Eat more – preferably raw – vegetables, fruit and whole milk products, which are easy to digest and contain important substances for the nervous system. Many of these vitamins are absorbed through our diet or are formed in the sun, helping the immune and nervous systems to function properly and even helping to keep us mentally healthy.
