How beautiful spring is. How many people are happy in this era. Flowers, sun, heat, long days… but unfortunately, not everyone is equally perfect.
There are many people who at this time are accompanied by a feeling of fatigue and lack of energy. A condition commonly known as vernal weakness.
In this case, food also plays an essential role. For this reason, and from my point of view as a nutritionist, I will give you the keys to combating it.
What is spring fever?
No one will really diagnose you because it feels personal. It is a fleeting thing associated with the beginning of spring. It is the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.
There are several aspects that can affect this fatigue: climate changes, different schedules, different sunlight, changes in lifestyle… But wait, as much as it is not considered a medical disease, weakness and spring fever exist and many people suffer from them. He. She.
Foods that help fight spring weakness
Fortunately, I will give you a message of hope: We can follow a diet good in certain foods to combat these symptoms and increase vitality this time of year.
So, as a nutritionist, I will share with you a list of foods that you should include in your daily life to feel more energetic than ever.
1. Fresh fruits and vegetables
This group of foods, as I assume you already know, are among the richest sources of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These micronutrients can help fight fatigue and boost your energy.
Foods that are particularly beneficial during the spring season are: strawberries, kiwi, spinach, cauliflower, and carrots.
2. Whole grains
By whole grains, I mean whole grains, grains that have not undergone further processing. Brown rice, oats, or quinoa are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates and fiber.
They provide us with sustained energy and help keep blood sugar levels stable, which is key to combating fatigue.
3. Lean proteins
Chicken, fish, eggs, tofu… They are necessary to maintain muscle mass in good condition and provide energy. Additionally, including lean protein at every meal will help maintain your satiety levels throughout the day.
4. Healthy fats
Note that I allocated healthy fats because not any type of fat is good for us. Then avocados, olive oil or nuts are essential for brain health and energy production.
This combination will improve your mood, indirectly making you feel more energetic.
5. Moisturizing
With minimal dehydration there can actually be effects on energy levels and can contribute to fatigue. For this reason, it is necessary to drink enough water throughout the day to keep the body hydrated and provide it with sufficient energy.
Additionally, this will be especially important in the hotter months and among athletes. By including these foods in your diet, along with good hydration, adequate sleep, exercise, and stress management, I assure you that we can fight spring fatigue and enjoy this beautiful season.
