5 vitality and motivation gestures for spring

Spring means mild temperatures, sunshine, and good mood. But it is not uncommon to feel some fatigue in spring, especially because our immune system is tired after winter and our body must get used to the lengthening days. Discover 5 actions to help support your body and boost your vitality and motivation.. 

Before wanting to boost your energy, you need to understand why we experience a drop in energy. The first reason is that we fought microbes all winter, which considerably exhausts our immune system. Then because the body must readjust to the lengthening days. The secretions of melatonin (sleep hormone) and serotonin (natural antidepressant) must therefore rebalance, which can cause fatigue.

5 actions to boost yourself in spring

A drop in energy, or even fatigue, is quite normal at the arrival of spring. Here are 5 actions to take to regain vitality and motivation.

1. Promote a healthy lifestyle, especially with good eating habits and quality sleep.
   A varied and balanced diet is one of the essential keys to physical and mental health. With spring, early fruits and vegetables return to market stalls. Take advantage of them: They contain everything our body needs!
   Sleep is our body's recovery tool, especially for fatigue. It is even more important in spring, as it is a transition period where the body must adapt to new cycles.
   
2. Get some sun, stock up on vitamin D, and practice physical activity outdoors. 
   The sun synthesizes vitamin D which boosts our immune system, making us less vulnerable to infections, microbes, and inflammatory phenomena, but also sun exposure recharges our batteries and sunlight triggers the production of well-being neurohormones.
   It is also recommended to practice physical activity outdoors in spring to promote toxin elimination and stimulate both body and mind. Indeed, physical activity and sports influence the production of endorphins, the well-being hormones, and doing it outdoors allows you to enjoy the sun's rays.
   
   
3. Regularly have "pleasure moments" to reduce stress and stimulate serotonin, which directly affects your mood, motivation, and immunity.
   It is known that stress weakens the immune defenses and also increases the risk of other diseases, such as Alzheimer’s or cardiovascular diseases. It is therefore essential to reduce stress levels to support the body. To do this, it is advised to maintain “pleasure moments,” moments for oneself: a moment of reading, a walk by the water, or a manual activity like knitting or coloring.
   These “pleasure moments” help act on stress levels but also on overall mood, stimulating serotonin and affecting motivation and satisfaction. 
   
   
4. Detoxify the liver with certain foods, infusions, and dietary supplements, such as lemon, green tea, or turmeric.
   Indeed, during winter the liver is heavily solicited because it has to process everything we drink, eat, but also everything we let penetrate through our skin. In other words, it acts as the body's recycling plant, and at the end of winter, it is often loaded with toxins and fats. This results in a feeling of heaviness and fatigue.
   Spring is the opportunity to support it with certain foods or a course of dietary supplements: turmeric, green tea, lemon, garlic, avocado, and beetroot are known to be beneficial for the liver.
   
   
5. Choosing the right dietary supplements to boost vitality and motivation, especially with Klamath, Green Tea, and Astaxanthin.
   While rest and lifestyle hygiene are essential, in spring, a course of dietary supplements based on plants, vitamins, minerals, or antioxidants will help you naturally and effectively regain your shape. Green tea, Klamath, and Astaxanthin are true boosters for the body. By strengthening your immunity, they will help you maintain and regain vigor, energy, and tone.

• The richness in vitamin C and tannins of green tea gives it stimulating and energizing benefits.
• The immune-boosting virtues and the richness in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and Omega 3 of the Klamath algae help strengthen the body and support it during periods of fatigue.
• The antioxidant activity of Astaxanthin explains its effect against physical and mental fatigue.
