How to adjust your diet in spring

Spring is the ideal time to “refresh” your diet a bit – after the winter period, your body usually needs lighter, more nutritious and seasonal food.

It’s not about strict rules, but about gradual adjustments.

🌱 Switch to seasonal foods

In spring, fresh, local foods rich in vitamins start to arrive:

• asparagus

• young spinach

• radishes

• spring onions

• lettuce

👉 These foods help to “relieve” the body after a heavier winter diet.

🥗 More fresh and raw food

In winter we eat more cooked and heavier food, but in spring:

• add more salads and fresh vegetables

• include fruit (apples, citrus, later strawberries)

• smoothies are a good choice for breakfast or snack

💧 Increase hydration

With higher temperatures, the body needs more fluids:

• water should be the basis

• herbal teas (nettle, dandelion)

• fewer sweet drinks

🌿 Support digestion

In spring, it makes sense to support the digestive system:

• fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut)

• fiber (whole grains, legumes)

• bitter foods (dandelion, arugula) help the liver

🍽️ Lighter meals

Instead of heavy winter dishes:

• less fried foods

• more boiled, baked or steamed dishes

• less fatty meat, more fish or vegetable proteins

☀️ Listen to your body

It is important not to make drastic changes:

• Introduce changes gradually

• Observe your energy, digestion and well-being.
