When spring comes, many people worry, saying things like, "This year's hay fever is worse than ever!" or "My new life is stressful and I get tired easily..."

Spring is a season of major environmental changes, which can put stress on the mind and body and weaken the immune system.

In order to boost your immunity and stay healthy during this time, it is important to regulate your autonomic nervous system. This time, we will introduce some lifestyle tips to regulate your autonomic nervous system and boost your immunity.

It's busy early spring. Is your immune system in good condition?

Spring is a season of many environmental changes that can make you more susceptible to stress.

Not only major events such as going to college, getting a job, or changing jobs, but also temperature differences from the previous day and between day and night can affect the mind and body.

These changes put stress on the body and make you more prone to fatigue.

If you continue to feel fatigued for days on end, it may cause your immune system to weaken. Immune system is the body's ability to protect itself from various external threats, such as infections caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, and cancer. This function is primarily performed by white blood cells in the blood.

Therefore, a weakened immune system not only makes you more susceptible to various illnesses, but can also worsen existing conditions.

Immunity is prone to fluctuations, so it will recover if the cause of its decline is eliminated. With the early spring coming on and things getting busy, it is important to eliminate factors that cause stress and fatigue as soon as possible.

The key to boosting your immunity is the autonomic nervous system

In addition to changes in circumstances such as continuing education or finding employment, hay fever is a problem that many people face at this time of year. Some people may feel like every year it's worse than last year. Boosting your immune system is important to alleviate the symptoms of hay fever.

The key to boosting your immune system is the autonomic nervous system, which is the nervous system that maintains vital biological functions such as blood circulation, digestion, absorption, breathing, immunity, metabolism, and hormone secretion.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic nervous system, which acts as an accelerator for biological functions, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which acts as a brake.

If the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is disrupted, blood circulation, immunity, hormone secretion, etc. will not function properly, and the immune system will weaken.

Spring is especially a season when the environment changes and the autonomic nervous system is easily thrown off balance due to stress and lack of sleep.

People who already suffer from hay fever may find their condition worsens, and even those who have never had hay fever may be more susceptible to developing it, so people who tend to have an imbalance in their autonomic nervous system need to be careful.

Recommended for early spring! How to regulate your autonomic nervous system

There are several ways to regulate your autonomic nervous system:

Raise body temperature

When we feel stressed, our bodies tense up. Prolonged tension stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which acts as the accelerator for our biological functions.

Raising your body temperature improves blood flow and relaxes your body.

For example, drinking water when you wake up will stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system and balance your autonomic nervous system.

In addition, eating a good breakfast and exercising moderately will raise your body temperature, which can ultimately help prevent autonomic nervous system disorders.

Prepare for temperature changes

In spring, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so if you let your guard down and think, "It's warm today, so I'll be fine with just wearing light clothing," it can get very cold at night.

Especially in early spring, when outdoor events such as cherry blossom viewing and picnics increase, the cold can cause stress and lead to physical discomfort.

Even if you can wear light clothing during the day, prepare for the cold at night by bringing along a jacket, blankets, and other cold weather gear.

Have time and peace of mind

If you are short on time and mentally and continue to feel anxious, your sympathetic nervous system will be stimulated, causing physical discomfort.

If you worry too much about time and become anxious, your autonomic nervous system will become unbalanced, which can lead to you making mistakes about meeting places and times, and even making more mistakes at work.

Prepare for the next morning before going to bed, and get up earlier in the morning to give yourself plenty of time.

Also, when you feel tired, it's important to look in the mirror and smile. Even if it's just a fake smile, it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing fatigue and irritability.

Relax

Relaxing your body stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which can relieve stress that disrupts the autonomic nervous system.

Burn some aromatherapy in your room or take a half-body bath to relieve the fatigue of everyday life and relieve tension in your body.

Listening to music is also effective in regulating the autonomic nervous system. For example , "Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System: Mental Treatment for Mind and Body" incorporates fresh, hopeful melodies and natural sounds that are said to be effective in regulating the autonomic nervous system.

Furthermore , "Music for Immune Activation" can boost immune function by gently affecting the autonomic nervous system.

Let's regulate the autonomic nervous system and welcome a comfortable spring

In the early spring, when things get hectic, stress and fatigue tend to build up.

By suppressing autonomic nervous system disorders, you can relieve stress and prevent a weakened immune system.

Get into the habit of regulating your autonomic nervous system and welcome spring in a healthy state of mind and body.
