"Spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps, and a winter of not waking up," is the mantra people use to describe those who love to drowse. It's not hard to understand why people feel drowsy during the day when summer's heat leads to poor rest at night. However, when autumn arrives with its crisp, clear, golden days, why do people still experience autumn fatigue?
Because, during the hot summer, the body loses a lot of sweat, leading to an imbalance in water and salt metabolism, weakened gastrointestinal function, and an increased burden on the cardiovascular system. The body is in a state of excessive consumption. As summer gives way to autumn, the climate turns cool and pleasant, and the body's sweating decreases significantly. The body enters a periodic recovery phase, water and salt metabolism begins to rebalance, the burden on the cardiovascular system eases, and digestive function gradually returns to normal. Yet, at this time, people feel an indescribable sense of fatigue, which is what is commonly known as "autumn fatigue." In fact, this is the body's natural physiological response to changing seasons. After a period of adjustment, the symptoms of autumn fatigue will naturally disappear. Methods for dealing with autumn fatigue:
First, appropriately increase physical exercise, but the intensity should be gradual. Do not start with a heavy workload; exercise according to your ability, otherwise excessive exercise will only increase the body's fatigue.
Second, pay attention to dietary nutrition; it is beneficial to health to "bulk up" appropriately in autumn.
Third, maintain a regular daily routine. Don't stay up too late and ensure adequate sleep. This is how you can alleviate and eventually eliminate autumn fatigue, and enjoy the beautiful time of the golden autumn season.
