A few words about the causes of spring fatigue

Who doesn’t know it: we look forward to the longer days, the spring sunshine and activities in nature! But then exhaustion, dizziness and a leaden tiredness spread within us – spring fatigue has us in its grip!
Weather-sensitive people and people with low blood pressure are particularly often affected. More women than men also complain about the listlessness that occurs every year in spring. The symptoms of spring fatigue also become more frequent with increasing age. Basically, it can be said that people who do sports react less to the change of seasons.

How does spring fatigue occur?

The human organism needs natural sunlight to produce serotonin. This is a hormone that has an activating and mood-lifting effect. In the low-light winter months, our serotonin level is low, but that of the sleep hormone melatonin is high. Plenty of exercise in the fresh air boosts the production of serotonin!
In spring, the outside temperature often rises abruptly. Our body first has to get used to it: at higher temperatures, the vessels dilate and blood pressure drops. We notice this with fatigue and circulatory problems.
Last but not least, a cause can also be found in our diet: Our food in winter is often heavier than in summer and provides fewer vitamins and minerals.

Our tips from Hotel Kössler in Hintertux:

#1 Soak up the sun

… this stimulates the production of serotonin, which is also known as the happiness hormone. At the same time, sunlight lowers the melatonin level. This is responsible for the organism becoming tired in the dark.

#2 Drink mineral water instead of coffee in the morning

The carbonic acid in mineral water has almost the same invigorating effect as a cup of coffee – a gentler method for the stomach to start the day fit.

#3 Conscious vitamin-rich diet

A vitamin-rich diet optimally supplies the brain with nutrients, which allows you to concentrate better on the tasks of your day.

#4 Exercise in the fresh air

Take long walks or (if you are short on time) take every opportunity for physical activity (take the stairs instead of the elevator …)

#5 Get your circulation going

By alternating showers or a visit to the sauna, you strengthen your immune system and get your circulation going.

#6 Get enough sleep

Sleep at least 7-8 hours every day!
