Spring is called the time of nature's renewal, but people want something new too. Vigor, good mood come from somewhere, and they want love and other high relationships.

In connection with this, the opinion arose that there is something special in the spring air that makes an indelible impression on a person.

Endocrinologist Irina Maslova told IZHLIFE what happens to the human body in spring.

Mood

It has been noticed that in spring it is easier to breathe and people feel more energetic.

But it is wrong to associate this phenomenon with the length of daylight hours and the sleep hormone. In fact, in spring the body produces more serotonin, known as the hormone of happiness.

The restoration of biorhythms begins, walks in the fresh air are taken more often, the body is saturated with oxygen and vitamin D.

Feelings

In fact, the increase in estrogen and testosterone levels is not connected with spring, but is connected with a person’s libido.

The doctor explains the desire to love and be loved as the awakening of the body and the rebirth of nature. But this desire depends least of all on the time of year.

Sweets

And that's a misconception. The desire to eat more sweets is not related to seasonal changes in hormone levels.

But it is important to maintain a balanced diet.

Earlier we talked about whether you need to force yourself to do something if you don’t want to.
