How spring affects your libido

spring libido

It's spring, it's swelling... That's what they say, but let's take a look behind the scenes. Spring is a time when nature comes alive, the days slowly get longer, but how does this affect us, our mood, our body and our sexual appetite?

For animals, it's the time of nesting fever, and for mammals, it's the time of year when babies are born. 

However, conception can also occur in summer and autumn. The Testosterone levels is highest during this period. But how do we then explain the spring fever and what can boost our libido?

Every part of us responds to the stimuli of spring, but that's not all, we can also feel the change from within. The intensity of sunlight in spring is also higher than in winter, and our retinas respond immediately by sending a signal to the brain that triggers hormonal changes.

The intensity of the light acts through the retina and once the message reaches the pineal gland it affects wakefulness or sleep depending on the intensity of the light. The hormone melatonin regulates the sleep cycle and has a major impact on cell aging and reproduction in women.

During the cold, "dark" season, when sunlight is not as intense, our bodies produce much more melatonin, which makes us more depressed, moody and "gray". Our body responds to these effects by demanding more sleep and making us feel more tired. However, the transition is not smooth for everyone, and spring fatigue can occur due to a drop in melatonin levels in those who are more susceptible to it. 

The length of the wake-sleep cycle and the disruption it causes can be difficult for many people.

 

That is why we recommend paying special attention to the right intake of vitamins and minerals, not only in the autumn and winter months, but also during this period, since feeling unwell and tiredness can affect our daily lives.

As melatonin decreases, the production of serotonin (the happiness hormone) increases when exposed to light, so the spring sun has been shown to improve our mood.
In winter, serotonin levels are lower, which not only has a negative effect on our mood, but in more severe cases can also lead to depression.

Not only hormones, but also the outside temperature has a big impact on sperm production, which of course varies from person to person depending on how active the sex life is.

 

Diet and exercise play an important role in hormone production. If you haven't already, it's a good idea to broaden your horizons now, incorporate some exercise into your daily routine, and even seek expert advice on where to start.

 

The better the weather gets, the more we are drawn outside, we organize active activities and play sports.

Everything is different in spring. 

If the As temperatures rise, there are many new opportunities for outdoor exercise and sports.

 

As the weather improves, spring and summer bring fruit and veg back into season and it becomes easier to add color to our meals.

 

The various seasonal fruits and vegetables are preferred not only for their exceptional taste, but also for their high vitamin content, some of which are considered an aphrodisiac. Examples are dates, Avocados, figs and mangoes, which luckily we find more and more of in the middle of the year, as well as cherrieswho not only rich in the vitamins E, C and A, but also at Magnesium, Folic acid (BXNUMX) and Iron .
