HORMONES IN HARMONY WITH<br />
NATURE<br />
In men, the sex hormone testosterone has a<br />
seasonal rhythm. Unlike in the other seasons,<br />
the male body actually produces more testosterone<br />
in spring and summer. The hormone<br />
is not only important for more activity in the<br />
loins, but also for the psyche. If the testosterone<br />
level is increased, you simply feel better.<br />
MORE LIGHT, MORE FUN<br />
The hormone melatonin influences our<br />
sleep-wake cycle. As soon as it gets dark, the<br />
happiness hormone serotonin is converted<br />
into the sleep hormone melatonin. So when it<br />
gets lighter again in spring, we are also more<br />
alert and active.<br />
AWAKENING OF THE SENSES<br />
When the first flowers and buds blossom, it<br />
is as if nature is waking up again. After a gray<br />
winter we get new visual stimuli again because<br />
everything gradually turns green. But also<br />
noises like the chirping of birds or the smell<br />
of musty leaves and damp earth when the sun<br />
warms the ground up again ensure that we are<br />
suddenly stimulated again.<br />
SHOWTIME<br />
The cold days are over and slowly people dare<br />
to wear lighter clothes again. Just the sight of<br />
The thought of it may<br />
seem infinitely far away<br />
this Corona winter. But it‘s<br />
sure to come: Springtime!<br />
But why are we so much<br />
better off and have more<br />
desire for sex and falling<br />
in love once winter melts<br />
away?<br />
hair that disappears under hoods and woolen<br />
hats in winter is a bit of a stir. In Germany,<br />
T-shirts are already worn at temperatures<br />
of 15 degrees Celsius. A feast for the eyes if<br />
you‘ve only seen winter jackets for months.<br />
FRESH AIR AND SEX APPEAL<br />
While you really have to motivate yourself<br />
to go outside in winter, spring literally brings<br />
you the desire to be active again. Fresh air<br />
and exercise ensure a better metabolism and<br />
thus stimulate blood circulation. The oxygen<br />
stimulates cell division in the skin and makes<br />
you look fresh and healthy. It’s fun and you<br />
also feel more attractive again.<br />
STRAWBERRIES, ASPARAGUS<br />
AND CO.<br />
No more fruit and vegetables that have traveled<br />
halfway around the world to your discount<br />
store in thick plastic containers. From<br />
April at the latest, the regional selection will<br />
be richer again: for example with asparagus,<br />
radishes, spinach, leeks and delicious lamb‘s<br />
lettuce. Then it won‘t be long before the<br />
first early varieties of cherries, raspberries,<br />
blueberries, gooseberries and many other<br />
delicious fruits are available. These foods<br />
not only look great, they also provide us with<br />
good nutrients that keep us fit and lively.<br />
