As the days stretch longer and the sun hangs a little higher, these small shifts can support your body to ride out the transition:
- Get serious about vitamin D. Less sun often means lower levels—and lower energy. Make time for daylight, even if it means a short neighborhood walk. And eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin D, such as fatty fish.
- Keep blood sugar steady. Energy swings often start with what’s on your plate. Pair carbs with protein or fat. Prioritize fiber. Skip ultra-processed foods.
- Check your iron levels. Iron supports oxygen delivery. Eat iron-rich foods, pair them with vitamin C, and avoid caffeine and calcium at the same time as iron‑rich meals or supplements, since they can interfere with absorption.
- Strengthen your circadian rhythm. Getting morning sunlight and regular sleep anchor your body’s energy cycle.
- Rethink caffeine and alcohol. Both can sabotage sleep and recovery. Keep caffeine intake to earlier in the day, and limit alcohol—especially on nights when you need restorative rest.
