When you hear the word spring, is the first thing that comes to your mind: sunny days, warm weather, and the energy of the spring season? Or is it the state of not wanting to do anything that comes with this beautiful weather and the spring fatigue it brings with it? It is possible to experience both situations these days. If you are wondering how I feel so tired when the weather is so beautiful, I can explain the situation as follows. Your metabolism, which slows down during the winter months, enters an adaptation process with spring. This adaptation process also causes spring fatigue. If you say you want to get over your spring fatigue and want the word energy to come to your mind when spring is mentioned, the secret is to review your nutrition.
Here are nutritional suggestions to help you overcome your spring fatigue.
-

IMPROVE YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION INCREASE. During the winter months, you may have experienced a decrease in your water consumption due to the cold weather. This decrease in your water consumption is also effective in slowing down your metabolism. In other words, your body is dehydrated and has difficulty removing toxins, and as a result, you may be experiencing spring fatigue. T The best way to remove auxins and accelerate your slowing metabolism is to consume an average of 2-2.5 liters of water daily. If you say you don't like water, you can try sweetening your water with fresh fruits, cinnamon sticks and lemon!
-
BENEFIT FROM FUNCTIONAL TEA. If you say that I spent the winter months more sedentary, consumed less water, ate more fat and carbohydrate-based foods, and felt bloated all the time. Your body may be telling you that you have edema. If you do not have any health problems during these months, you can consume herbal teas, especially green tea, white tea, and mate tea. These teas will help both speed up your metabolism and remove edema in your body. The point you should pay attention to is that you should drink these teas at most 3 cups a day.
-
BALANCE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. This season, try to stay away from sweet, doughy and starchy foods that give you instant happiness. These foods raise and lower your blood sugar suddenly. Therefore, instead of these foods, you should benefit from foods that contain vitamin B but do not disrupt your blood sugar balance, that is, low glycemic index and high fiber content.
-
BE CAREFUL NOT TO SKIP YOUR MEALS. Irregularly consumed meals, skipped snacks, and long periods of fasting can all cause your blood sugar to become unstable and suddenly fall or rise suddenly. This situation causes changes in your mood and may increase the symptoms of spring fatigue. At this point, the number of meals you should have should be determined according to your lifestyle.
-
LOSE WEIGHT. The arrival of spring and the desire to get fit for the summer may bring with it the desire to get rid of excess weight and shock diets. Crash diets, on the other hand, cause you to have incomplete and unbalanced nutrition, remove water from your body, and all of these cause spring fatigue. At the same time, the weight lost in this way will return to your body at the end of the summer. If you want to get fit for the summer, be sure to follow your lifelong sustainable diet program planned specifically for you by your dietician.
