We can laugh at harmless April Fools' jokes. But what else April has in store is less likely to make us laugh: sudden changes in the weather, temperature jumps of 20 degrees Celsius in one day, and on top of that, the time change – all of this can seriously upset our circulation.
While we have to decide every day whether to pack our winter jacket or sunglasses, our bodies also experience considerable fluctuations. These constant changes place a great deal of strain on it – both physically and mentally. Welcome to the month of extremes: snow in the morning, sun at midday, storms in the evening. Nature is celebrating spring, but your circulation isn't keeping up? You're not alone.
Spring sounds like a new beginning and a burst of fresh energy – but for our bodies, it means one thing above all: work. Temperature fluctuations, changing light conditions, increased outdoor activity, and the shift in our body clock put our bodies under a kind of stress of adjustment. It's no wonder that many feel listless or exhausted.
Why spring is stressful for our bodies
When temperatures outside suddenly change, your body has a lot to do: It has to regulate body temperature , dilate or constrict blood vessels, adjust blood pressure, and always provide enough energy. Rapid changes between warm and cold conditions throw the autonomic nervous system into disarray – this can manifest itself in fatigue, dizziness, headaches, or irritability.
The time change at the beginning of April further exacerbates these effects. The abrupt change not only disrupts your sleep-wake rhythm, but can also lead to temporary blood pressure fluctuations and mood swings. It's no wonder, then, that many people talk about spring fatigue and "weather sensitivity" during this time of year.
People with low blood pressure, the elderly, and those whose cardiovascular systems are sensitive to weather changes are particularly affected. But even healthy people often experience reduced resilience during this time of year.
Symptoms you shouldn't ignore
If you notice one or more of the following signs in April weather, your body could use a little spring help:
-
Sudden dizziness when standing up
-
Headaches or “cotton wool in the head”
-
Lack of energy despite sufficient sleep
-
Concentration problems
-
Inner restlessness or irritability
-
“Fluttering feeling” in the chest area
These symptoms are usually harmless, but they indicate that your body is currently under particular strain. Especially when temperatures drop within a short period of time, your body needs energy to maintain thermoregulation. This is exhausting – especially if your immune system is working at the same time or you already have a lot on your plate.
What you can do in everyday life – nutrition, exercise & small routines
In addition to taking selected micronutrients, you can also achieve a lot with small everyday routines:
-
Alternating showers for vascular exercises
-
Walks in the fresh air – even in rain or wind
-
Drink plenty of still water or unsweetened tea. Eat magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, oatmeal, whole grain products, or green vegetables.
-
Eat small, light meals regularly – ideal options include porridge, stir-fried vegetables, or bananas as a snack
-
Light breakfast in the morning to combat circulatory lows
-
Exercise: light endurance training or yoga
An additional tip: Avoid heavy meals in the evening and try to keep your bedtime as consistent as possible despite the time change. This helps your circadian rhythm settle more quickly – which in turn stabilizes your circulation. Conscious breaks, deep breathing, or mindfulness techniques can also help you better cope with stress or inner restlessness. Anything that relieves stress on your nervous system ultimately helps your circulation as well.
