00:15They call it the awakening season, also because psychologically the return of life to the open air in spring stimulates and promotes well-being. But is it really so?
00:27The spring disturbances, par excellence, objectively linked to the nature that awakens with its flowers and pollen, are classically allergic, even if not exclusively to respirators.
00:41Another element of disturbance is represented by the lengthening of the days, which further complicates with the arrival of the royal hour, and the lengthening of the days involves an alteration of the hormonal rhythms, which in turn affect the quality and duration of sleep.
00:59And sleeping badly means waking up tired, not adequately concentrated, not adequately able to face the day and therefore to fuel to carry out daily chores regularly.
01:14Another element of disturbance is represented by temperature swings, so you go from a little warmer days to cooler evenings, and this can lead, especially for those who are in a hurry and can't wait to reach the right season, can lead to aches that go from a simple cold to a series of joint or muscle aches that are quite annoying.
01:39Finally, another element not to be underestimated are digestive disorders, a slowness in digestion, stomach burns, gastric refluxes, these phenomena that, although they do not have a scientifically documented basis, are still present in the changes of season,
01:59possibly due to imperceptible but continuous changes in the food that are usually associated with the change of season.
02:09The explanation of all this seems to be in a sort of adaptive load that, in response to some apparently minimal environmental requirements, but ineludible and continuous, leads the body to a different physiological activity from the one that had been maintained until that moment.
02:27Once this activity has reached a new level of adaptation, the body finds its balance, absolutely essential to prevent the overload from becoming chronic and therefore pathological.
02:57And then what to do to make up for these moments? During the change of season towards spring, with its brighter rhythms, its inviting colors, its longer lights, its warmer temperatures, and, of course, with the change of season, it is necessary to make up for it.
03:17During the change of season towards spring, with its brighter rhythms, its inviting colors, its longer lights, its warmer temperatures, and, of course, with the change of season, it is necessary to make up for it.
03:43The first precaution is to distribute the composition of meals well and eat enough but without exaggerating in order to promote and optimize the immunological, metabolic and endocrine functions and also to promote the trophism of organs and tissues.
04:01Respect chronobiological rhythms and enhance the quality and quantity of sleep.
04:10To abstain from common places that would like the temporal debacle of our body linked to the usual ejaculation of low immune defenses and the unconditioned refuge of our ailments and ailments without apparent paternity.
04:27Therefore, be careful not to make use of immunostimulants from banks of various kinds, because in the spring our immune system may need everything but to be further stimulated by pharmacological or integrative factors that would go in a completely irregular way to add to the real stimuli that come from the environment in this period with pollen and allergens.
04:56Therefore, be careful to follow precise and scientifically based indications rather than following indications that, compared to reason, go in a diametrically opposite direction.
