As the days get longer and the first rays of sunshine bathe the peaks of the Wilder Kaiser in soft light, nature awakens to new life all around us. The first spring flowers sprout everywhere in the surrounding meadows and forests, bathing the landscape in a sea of color that invigorates our senses and delights the eye. But as the seasons change, a little spring fatigue sometimes sets in.

We at Appartement Haus Bergland, your holiday apartment in Söll, have put together some valuable tips for you on how to overcome this spring fatigue and enjoy the awakening of nature full of energy and joy!

A few words about the causes of spring fatigue

It takes around four weeks for our body to adjust to the new season. The reduced hours of sunshine in winter mean that less of the mood-boosting hormone serotonin is produced, but more of the sleep-promoting melatonin. In addition, the rising temperatures cause blood vessels to dilate, which lowers blood pressure. This also contributes to tiredness. The often heavier winter diet can also make it difficult to obtain an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals.

Fortunately, there are simple tricks to shorten the period of fatigue and enjoy the spring months full of energy:

Our tips for staying fit and vital through spring:

1. sunlight:

Spend more time outdoors! Every walk in the sunlight gets you going and provides your body with fresh oxygen.

2. movement:

Just half an hour of exercise a day improves your mood and reduces tiredness. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or the bike instead of the car.

3. nutrition:

A balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, fills your energy stores and provides the body with important nutrients.

4. drink water:

Make sure you drink water regularly to prevent dehydration, which often leads to fatigue and reduced focus. At least 2 liters of water per day is recommended. A glass of cold water can also have a similar invigorating effect to a cup of coffee.

5. reduce caffeine:

Too much caffeine can promote sleep disorders. Try to reduce your coffee consumption and drink more water or herbal tea.

6. sleep:

Make sure you get enough sleep. A regular sleep pattern of 7 to 8 hours is ideal to combat fatigue.

7. stress reduction:

Integrate relaxation exercises and yoga into your daily routine to effectively reduce stress and promote deep physical and mental well-being. Regular meditation or yoga not only helps to calm the mind, but also to strengthen the body and lower overall stress levels.

8. stimulate circulation:

A regular visit to the sauna promotes blood circulation through the alternating heat and cold and strengthens the immune system, which can be particularly beneficial after an active day in the fresh spring air. Alternatively, alternating showers, where you switch between hot and cold water, will quickly get your circulation going and increase your resistance to temperature fluctuations.

9. conscious relaxation:

Make time for things that bring you joy, whether it’s a good book, music or meeting up with friends.

10. use the power of colors:

Bright and bold colors in your clothes can lift your mood and banish springtime fatigue.

Leave the dark winter days behind and welcome spring with these tips to help you enjoy the season to the full!
