What is spring fatigue?
Spring fatigue is a widespread phenomenon that affects many people when the seasons change. It describes the feeling of tiredness, exhaustion and listlessness that accompanies the arrival of spring and affects well-being and performance.
Symptoms of spring fatigue
Spring fatigue manifests itself in a variety of symptoms that can affect well-being and performance.
The most common signs include

These symptoms often occur in combination and can make everyday life more difficult. It is important to recognize them and act accordingly in order to combat spring fatigue effectively.
Why does spring fatigue occur?
The causes of spring fatigue are complex and can be triggered by various factors. The background to this requires closer examination.

Care should therefore be taken to ensure an adequate intake of minerals, which have a strong influence on the acid-base balance.
