The weather can have a strong impact on the human psyche and body. This is what you should do if you get the “winter blues”.
Hamburg – In Hamburg, January was darker than it had been for a long time. There have not been as few hours of sunshine in the first month of the year as in 2022 since 2013. The German Weather Service has been determining the hours of sunshine in the Hamburg/Bremen/Lower Saxony region since 1951 and was only able to record 27.8 hours of sunshine in January for the year 2022. Over the past three years, that number has continued to fall.
24hamburg.de reveals here what dramatic consequences this development can have for the people of Hamburg.
The weather influences the human psyche and particularly cloudy, dreary weather can lead to winter depression, the so-called “winter blues”. Those affected suffer from the dark weather, become listless and listless and sleep a lot. To break out of this low, light therapy with a daylight lamp, walks or sports in the fresh air in daylight to fill up on vitamin D even without sunshine, or a healthy diet with foods that boost the metabolism are recommended.
However, many winter depressions are true depressions that only occur in winter. In such a case, those affected should contact their doctor, a psychologist or the German Depression Aid Foundation. * 24hamburg.de is an offer for IPPEN.MEDIA.
