In spring, sleep often “drifts”: many people find it hard to fall asleep, waking up becomes more difficult, or, on the contrary, they wake up too early. The reason is the lengthening of daylight and changes in circadian rhythms. The body readjusts, but it doesn’t happen instantly. A mild jet lag appears without any flight. […]
No illusions or “motivational slogans.” The body doesn’t like sudden starts — and you need to accept that. In this article, we’ll explain how to avoid injuries in spring and overloading when starting activity after winter. In spring, the number of injuries rises sharply. The reason is simple: after a cold period, people suddenly become […]
Feeling unwell while traveling is a common situation even during short spring trips. Changes in temperature, humidity, daylight duration, sleep patterns, and diet force the body to quickly readjust. As a result, you may experience post-flight fatigue, drowsiness, a “heavy head” sensation, or mild digestive disturbances. In most cases, this is not a sign of […]
Seasonal pollen allergy in Ukraine usually starts as early as March, with a peak often occurring in April due to the pollination of alder, birch, and other trees. The most common symptoms are sneezing, watery runny nose, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, fatigue, and a feeling that your mind is working more slowly. The most effective […]
Hair loss in spring is not a myth and not “that’s it, I’m going bald.” According to dermatological associations (American Academy of Dermatology, British Association of Dermatologists), it can be a variant of the physiological norm related to the hair growth cycle. After winter, the body readjusts, and some hair shifts into the shedding phase. […]
In spring, many people notice mood swings: increased irritability or, conversely, reduced motivation and energy. Such mood swings in spring are often associated with the body’s adaptation to changes in the light cycle. In most cases, these changes are temporary, but in some people they may represent manifestations of seasonal affective fluctuations. Maintaining a stable […]
In spring, the body does not switch into “renewal mode” in a single day. It adapts to longer daylight hours, a different sleep schedule, and changes in the production of melatonin, cortisol, and other hormones. That is why in March and April people often complain of sleepiness, fatigue, distraction, or mood swings — these are […]
Dry skin after winter can appear even in those who usually have healthy skin. Flaking, tightness and increased sensitivity are signs that your skin barrier is damaged. Cold, wind and dry air disrupt the skin’s natural protection, increasing water and lipid loss. Learn how to effectively restore your skin after the winter season through proper […]
Spring Hair Loss is a common phenomenon often observed after the winter period. In most cases, it is associated with so-called telogen effluvium — a condition where a significant portion of hair enters the shedding phase following a period of stress or physiological changes. Seasonal factors, micronutrient deficiencies, hormonal fluctuations, and winter stress can affect […]
Seasonal changes in the body in spring are associated with a complex restructuring of physiological processes. The increase in daylight duration, changes in temperature and levels of physical activity affect hormonal regulation, metabolism and neurotransmitter systems. During this period, fluctuations in energy levels, mood changes, and adaptation of circadian rhythms may occur. Understanding these processes […]
Temperature fluctuations in spring, as well as changes in humidity and atmospheric pressure, can be accompanied by headaches, fatigue, impaired concentration, blood pressure changes, and general discomfort in weather-sensitive individuals. This phenomenon is often described as weather sensitivity or meteoropathy — a condition in which the body adapts less effectively to weather changes. Most often, […]
Spring fatigue is a state of reduced energy that occurs after winter as the body adapts to increasing daylight hours. In spring, many people experience tiredness, decreased productivity, and difficulty concentrating. This phenomenon is often referred to as spring asthenia. It is associated with the body’s spring adaptation to longer daylight hours, changes in hormonal […]
