In summer, the amount of sunlight is abundant, so melatonin is less secreted. In the fall, when the time of sunlight decreases, more melatonin is produced. At this time, melatonin levels increase, leading to inhibition of the two hormones thyroxine and adrenaline, so people become tired, depressed, negative, even falling into a state of depression.

In addition, in autumn, the weather is hot and cold erratically . The sudden change in temperature interferes with the metabolic and physiological functions of the body, leading to endocrine dysfunction and symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, dreaming, and insomnia.

To be in a good mood and spirit in the fall, first, you need to follow a healthy diet. Breakfast should pay attention to supplementing foods rich in protein and calcium such as eggs, milk, and fruits. Skipping breakfast will drain your mind even more.

Besides, do not forget to take care of your heart and kidneys by drinking teas such as rose tea, chrysanthemum tea, lotus tea. Eating a lot of lotus seeds, licorice, barley, and walnuts is also good for the heart, liver, nervous system and helps reduce the risk of blood vessel blockage.

Finally, in work as well as in personal life, you should take time to rest properly, think positively and participate in many outdoor activities for the body to relax.
