...because we can do the first bike outings
...because we get out those great summer dresses
...because we can sit outdoors finally
...because we get fresh greens on our table
...because nature awakens to new life
At the start of spring the sun rises exactly in the East, is in the South at midday and sets in the West - day and night are equal.
The increased amount of sunshine raises the serotonine levels in our brain and thus lifts our spirits.
Serotonine triggers a feelings of happiness like when we eat chocolate, says Siegfried Kasper of the Vienna AKH hospital.
How to lift your spirits:
Spend as much time as possible in the open air. The more intense and the longer your body is exposed to the sun, the better.
Go jogging, walking and cycling regularly in order to boost circulation.
Sleep long.
Take hot and cold showers in the morning (it's not nice but effective!)
Balanced and healthy diet.
Enjoy a short break with your loved one!
