Finally Spring!

It seems that spring has bloomed. The sun is finally shining brightly, and with daylight saving time starting on Sunday, we will be able to enjoy it until late evening.
Peach, apricot, and cherry trees have already filled the valleys and gardens with color. Dandelions are turning the meadows yellow, and the first violets are painting the fields blue and purple. The season, which has been slow to arrive in recent years, seems poised to return this year in all its strength and sweetness.

Spring is a time of awakening, rebirth, and the explosion of nature’s power. For many of us, it is the most beloved season. For others, it's a season to watch carefully. While the light is a defining element that revives the desire and joy of life, in many cases, spring and its climate hide pitfalls. Some psychologists call it spring syndrome.
Claudio Menacci from the Department of Neuroscience at the Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Milan states that around two million Italians show symptoms of irritability, aggression, anxiety, and lack of concentration. Mood swings, which are more common in women due to the changing light, are another common symptom. A syndrome affecting many students and office workers is drowsiness and fatigue, as they struggle to cope with the first sunny days, which smell of flowers but are seen only through the window.

Can this temporary phenomenon be fought and contained? Yes, and the first step is to activate a diet rich in elements that stimulate metabolic processes and brain activity. Vitamins, proteins, minerals, and easily absorbed sugars—foods that help boost our immune system and rid the body of toxins accumulated during the colder months.
