Human Health and Spring

How Does Season Affect Human Health? 

With reference to the Four Tantras of Tibetan Medicine, "During monsoon, the prevailing oily and cool qualities tend to accumulate tripa, however it does not manifest due to prevailing coolness of the season. It manifests during autumn, when oily and warm qualities prevail, and is pacified with the onset of cool quality of the early winter."The strongest evidence of human seasonality comes in the form of seasonal effective disorder, or SAD. Its victims suffer major depressive episodes related to the seasons, usually beginning in late Fall or early Winter, and subsiding in Spring or Summer. This is one of the modern scientific evidences suggesting positive effect of Spring on human health.Spring is the time when the body is in sync with its surroundings. The endocrine system is rejuvenated and this can up-regulate your mood in the best manner. Spring can get you going as it is this time when the body is most comfortably managing the heat-exchange or energy production and expenditure.This is the time when your appetite is normalized as compared to those cold 'hogging' Winter days and hot 'anorexic' Summer days. Spring is the time when your hormonal system is at its best. This also increases your libido, sexuality, euphoria and spirituality.These long-sunny Spring days would be a perfect time to start with a new fitness program  This is because it will get you the optimum 'fat-burn' during the coming Summer. Summer is the time when the heat-exchange will become faster supporting quicker and better fat-loss.
