External signs of vitamin deficiency

With what impatience and hope we are waiting for the coming of spring! But, alas, with the beginning of spring, almost every one of us is experiencing a breakdown, rapid fatigue, malaise, and sometimes so strong that you can not even fully enjoy the awakening of nature. Why is this happening? The usual explanation is the spring lack of vitamins. And all of the above - it is the external signs of the manifestation of avitaminosis.

At the very beginning of spring, our diet contains less fruit and vegetables, and, consequently, vitamins. The same reason leads to the fact that it is precisely in spring that many chronic diseases begin to exacerbate, especially cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. It is no accident that they are called: spring exacerbations. But the reason is not only a deficiency of vitamins.

Specialists say that with the spring calendar is associated with a certain restructuring of our body - it is called a "biological spring". During this period there is a violation of coordination of biorhythms of various organs and systems, the body replaces the minimum level of total activity by the maximum. In other words, the biological winter is replaced by a biological summer.

There are many reasons why this transition is not easy. Recent colds, respiratory viruses and the presence of avitaminosis severely undermined immunity. Our winter retreat in four walls in the days of bad weather, or even elementary laziness, did not allow us to calmly go out into the countryside or even just walk along the street in order to breathe fresh air. If, in the summer, everyone finds an opportunity to get a little pissed off from work, then, in addition to it, there is nothing more to do in winter, and we are working very hard. Many day and day sit in an uncomfortable pose, overexerting their eyes in front of computer monitors. And we spend a lot of winter evenings on the TV screen - again, not for the benefit of health. How quickly to overcome the consequences of all these "winter hazards", the impact of unfavorable moments of early spring?

Weather Response

What can deplete the nervous system, cause lethargy and malaise? All this can happen in the spring during ordinary natural phenomena - magnetic storms, strong winds, changes in atmospheric pressure, sudden spring thaws and frosts. How can this be avoided? You need to sleep at least 8-9 hours, but not more. Excess sleep acts as an asthenogenous factor, which can increase apathy and lethargy. Taking a contrasting shower in the morning, as well as washing with cool water and using massage mats are called to exert a tonic effect on the work of the whole organism for a whole day.

Evening walks can also significantly improve efficiency and stability in front of unfavorable environmental factors. It is important that they last at least 20-30 minutes, differed at a rapid pace, but were not too late - to sleep until at least 2 hours.

In spring, take for the rule: a constantly open window leaf! At work warmer to dress, at home not be in a draft, you can sleep under an extra rug, at worst, even in a grandmother's cap - but with an open window! The body is weakened by manifestations of avitaminosis, and without oxygen it can not cope with the basic functions!

A good service can be made by toning aromas of essential oils, aroma lamps or relaxing baths. Such aromatherapy needs to be done every day from 20 minutes to 3 hours, starting straight from today and until mid-April - this will certainly help to restore good health.

Point massage is useful. Try to pinch the little finger of the right hand with the thumb and index finger of the left. Press down with the tip of your thumb, stretch the middle part of the little finger more intensively. In the event that after 5-10 minutes of fatigue failed to resist, you should periodically repeat the massage for an hour, and so several times a day.

Easy breakfast - easy adaptation

Spoonful of "Hercules", flakes in milk or a cup of coffee can not provide you with a full set of vitamins and trace elements. You need to eat more fat-free foods. This is the only way to avoid external signs of vitamin deficiency. Do not deny yourself a healthy diet in order to quickly put on last year's sarafans without difficulty. You surely guarantee yourself a breakdown for the near future, and there will be little use. In the spring time, a breakfast sandwich with butter, creamy yogurt, cottage cheese, pancakes with sour cream, cheese and nuts is very useful for breakfast.

The well-known fact that in the spring the organism makes attempts to compensate for the temporary decline of forces by an increased predilection for sweet. Dried fruits, bananas, juices, citrus fruits are much more useful than cakes and snickers! Try to eat more often, 5-6 times a day, but in small portions. As much as possible, provide in your diet fresh fruits and vegetables, cranberries, cranberries, sauerkraut. "Multicolored" frozen vegetable blends for garnish is also a suitable option. Do not completely exclude fats, because the body does not care where to take for themselves natural "fuel." On the table must be sour-milk products that maintain a balance of microflora inside the intestine. Their modern choice is very wide, the main requirement is that they should be fresh.

Do not overload yourself!

The recent period of colds, when we ourselves and our children were ill, the prospect of summer vacations, the fastest dacha season, is now forced to work in a tense mode. With the habit of doing several things at the same time will have to part. It is very tedious for the nervous system, by the way, for women to a greater extent than for men. And the damage triples during the acute manifestation of vitamin deficiency. Especially harmful, according to experts, in the spring simultaneously deal with a bunch of documents and try to maintain conversation, talk on the phone and sign important papers, participate in the meeting and read business mail ...

Psychologists are sure: many tend to cling to everything at once simply because they do not represent where to start. The usual drawing up of the list of necessary cases can save the situation. Arrange the cases according to the degree of their importance, mark the made, decisively cross out those that can be performed without you, to remain vigorous and full of energy.

In the spring, many are particularly keenly feeling tired from working at the computer. Very tiring vision monotonous image, flickering monitor, pulsating luminous signs. Already after a couple of hours, fatigue takes possession of the entire body, causing headache, despondency, loss of appetite and other troubles. What can be done? Try to put your elbows on the table, rub one palm on the other to keep them warm. Then you need to close your eyes and cover them with your hands for a few moments. In the warmth and darkness - the ideal conditions for relaxing the eye muscles, the eyes will be able to fully relax. After every hour of work, do an easy warm-up, stretch, go for a couple of minutes to the window and admire the spring renewal of the city.

Driving fatigue

In an uncomfortable position, with visual and nervous tension, monotonous actions, in endless traffic jams, you can also get very tired. Symptoms of driver fatigue - the dullness of the look, rested in one point, the inhibition of reaction, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, passivity, movement at the same speed. And all this is also directly related to the lack of vitamins in the body. How to deal with this? Be sure to have a snack before the trip, but do not overeat and try to avoid fatty foods. The interior of the car should be cool: in the warmth the body relaxes, you will be torn to sleep. Do you feel tired? Open the window or turn on the air conditioner. Do not smoke while driving! Loud monotonous rhythmic music in the speakers does not contribute to the speed of the driver's reaction - the scientists have found that it rather immerses in a state of an excited trance, when it is easier to perform functions that have been worked out to automatism, but it is more difficult to cope with extraordinary tasks.

More light!

During the winter we were tired of darkness and dusk. Cloudy days are enough in the beginning of spring. From lack of light, one must suffer visual acuity, the skin loses its elasticity, the central nervous system "slows down". Do not interfere with a tanning bed in moderate doses. But it is much better to spend any free time in the fresh air in the open air. It is also important that all the premises at home and at work are brightly illuminated. It is not out of place to take care of the coloring of the wardrobe. Warm, invigorating flowers not only rejoice the eye, but they also noticeably raise the mood and eliminate the external signs of fatigue and spleen. Black, which "slim" and hides the flaws of the figure, leave for a bright summer.

If badly sleeps

Of the most common disorders of sleep - difficulties with falling asleep and an unnecessarily early awakening. Often this unpleasant "set" is supplemented by causeless irritability, tearfulness, fast fatigue. The doctor can recommend novopassit, passionflower extract. It helps insomnia and at the same time nourishes the brain amino acid glycine (non-prescription pills). There is also a reliable, drugless way: 30 minutes before a dream, take a slow drink with a glass of warm milk and a dessert spoonful of honey. Can help get rid of insomnia and regular hikes in the pool.
