Working in the summer is undoubtedly stressful, and our body suffers. Temperature fluctuations between office and street, a yearning to switch off, never-ending workloads, ‘swimsuit test’ anxiety, stifling nights and more turn the sunny season into a source of stress. Luckily, there are several natural remedies for stress.

Summer stress: why we feel more exhausted in summer

Before talking about natural remedies for the problem of summer stress, it is important to clarify what we mean by the state of stress.

Stress is a situation of physical and mental tension caused by the adaptation of the human body to any kind of physical or psychological ‘change’. As stress factors increase, our body reacts by placing itself in a state of perpetual alert that causes a feeling of malaise and insecurity.

As one would expect, work is one of the main sources of stress, especially during the summer period. The causes of summer stress, however, are not only attributable to the fact of working during the hot season but also to a hormone, cortisol, which is produced by our body in greater quantities in the period between June and September.

The combination of summer and work, therefore, inevitably becomes a source of fatigue that must be mitigated for our physical and psychological well-being. In general, natural remedies seem to be the most effective solutions for stress.

How to remedy summer stress the natural way

There are a number of natural remedies that can help us to buffer summer stress and say goodbye to fatigue.

A healthy lifestyle is the best ally in the fight against the exhaustion you feel during the hot season: a rested sleep, an outdoor walk that drains away the tensions of the day, and a controlled diet are three excellent natural remedies against stress. Nutrition, in particular, plays a key role in remediating stress; a diet rich in magnesium and potassium helps our body to reduce the production of cortisol.

In general, for a prolonged stress situation, the most effective natural remedy is simply to ‘slow down‘. In fact, too fast a rhythm puts our body under a pressure that it can sometimes fail to sustain.

Doctors advise us not to overload our bodies and to devote a little time to ourselves.
