Spring asthenia is not considered a disease or a pathology. Rather, it is considered to be a disorder or a minor adaptive disturbance. Spring asthenia usually coincides with the arrival of spring. That is, when the days begin to have more hours of daylight, the temperatures rise and it is warmer and even the atmospheric pressure changes. All these environmental changes, together with the time changes that occur, sometimes make us feel and experience feelings of apathy, nostalgia or sadness. We tell you about its symptoms and some tips on how to combat it.

Tips to combat it
Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals. A diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains supports your immune system. This will provide your body with vitamins A, E, C and B vitamins, antioxidants, and the minerals it needs to fight fatigue and fatigue.
Stay hydrated. The sudden change in temperature brings with it an increase in sweating. Your body needs to replenish those fluids to avoid dehydration. In addition, by staying hydrated you gain vitality, as well as reducing the low blood pressure that is a symptom of asthenia.
Take physical exercise. Regular physical exercise, even if it is moderate or light, helps to release tension, as well as reducing depression and anxiety and improving your night’s rest.
Respect sleep schedules: maintain fixed bedtimes and wake-up times, ensure adequate rest time (a healthy adult should sleep a minimum of 7 hours a day), have a suitable environment and comfortable elements for rest.
Increase outdoor activities. Although it may seem that this factor is not so relevant, outdoor activities and time spent outdoors have a positive impact on our general state of health. The sun is a source of health and brings vitality.
Pay attention to our emotions. Sometimes, asthenia causes anxiety, stress and even depressive disorders. It is advisable to identify those situations that cause us discomfort in order to implement resources and strategies that allow us to deal with them in the best possible way.
Maintain a routine. Changes in daily routines tend to generate a slight instability that is not convenient to minimise the effects of asthenia. As far as possible, keep a regular schedule.
