The impact of the change of season on the body

A change of season, whether summer or winter, inevitably impacts our body. Several factors come into play such as the lack of light , temperature changes or even the reduction of immune defenses . So our body must adapt to these changes and draw on its resources.

Several symptoms can occur in the face of a change of season, the most common are fatigue, a more fragile immune system or seasonal depression.

The disruption of the internal clock called circadian rhythm , strongly impacts our body. It leads the body to become more vulnerable to external attacks (infections and viruses). This phenomenon is due to the discrepancy between our circadian rhythm and the signals sent from the outside (luminosity), the body receives contradictory messages, which weakens it .
