The increased sun exposure in spring changes our hormone production and creates confusion in the body. Furthermore, the blood vessels dilate, the blood pressure drops, you feel tired and weak.
Light stimuli in spring activate serotonin production, the so-called happiness hormone, while at the same time melatonin, which is responsible for sleep, is still abundantly active through the dark winter. The confrontation of these two substances makes the body tired. In addition, many people eat too little fresh fruit and vegetables in winter; as a result, they lack valuable vital substances. Before spring fatigue really gets rolling, get your circulation in shape with exercise in the fresh air, sun, sauna and fresh food. But the metabolic processes can also be boosted internally with vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
