The influence of weather conditions on human well-being
Several decades ago, it never occurred to almost anyone to connect their performance, their emotional state and well-being with the activity of the Sun, with the phases of the Moon, with magnetic storms and other cosmic phenomena.
In any natural phenomenon around us, there is a strict repeatability of processes: day and night, ebb and flow, winter and summer. Rhythm is observed not only in the movement of the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars, but is also an integral and universal property of living matter, a property that penetrates all life phenomena - from the molecular level to the level of the whole organism.
In the course of historical development, man has adapted to a certain rhythm of life, determined by rhythmic changes in natural environment and energy dynamics of metabolic processes.
Currently, many rhythmic processes in the body, called biorhythms, are known. These include the rhythms of the heart, breathing, and bioelectrical activity of the brain. Our whole life is a constant change of rest and active activity, sleep and wakefulness, fatigue from hard work and rest.
In the body of every person, like the ebb and flow of the sea, a great rhythm eternally reigns, arising from the connection of life phenomena with the rhythm of the Universe and symbolizing the unity of the world.
The central place among all rhythmic processes is occupied by circadian rhythms, which are of greatest importance for the body. The body's response to any impact depends on the phase of the circadian rhythm (that is, on the time of day). This knowledge led to the development of new directions in medicine - chronodiagnosis, chronotherapy, chronopharmacology. They are based on the proposition that the same drug at different times of the day has different, sometimes directly opposite, effects on the body. Therefore, to obtain a greater effect, it is important to indicate not only the dose, but also the exact time of taking the medication.
It turned out that studying changes in circadian rhythms makes it possible to identify the occurrence of some diseases at the earliest stages.
Climate also has a serious impact on human well-being, influencing it through weather factors. Weather conditions include a complex of physical conditions: atmospheric pressure, humidity, air movement, oxygen concentration, degree of disturbance magnetic field Earth, level of air pollution.
Until now, it has not yet been possible to fully establish the mechanisms of the human body’s reactions to changes in weather conditions. And it often makes itself felt by cardiac dysfunction and nervous disorders. With a sudden change in weather, the physical and mental performance, diseases are getting worse, the number of mistakes, accidents and even deaths is increasing.
Most physical factors external environment, in interaction with which the human body has evolved, are of an electromagnetic nature.
It is well known that near quickly flowing water the air is refreshing and invigorating. It contains many negative ions. For the same reason, we find the air clean and refreshing after a thunderstorm.
On the contrary, the air in cramped rooms with an abundance of various kinds of electromagnetic devices is saturated with positive ions. Even a relatively short stay in such a room leads to lethargy, drowsiness, dizziness and headaches. A similar picture is observed in windy weather, on dusty and humid days. Experts in the field of environmental medicine believe that negative ions have a positive effect on health, while positive ions have a negative effect.
Weather changes do not affect the well-being of different people in the same way. In a healthy person, when the weather changes, physiological processes in the body are timely adjusted to the changed environmental conditions. As a result, the defensive reaction increases, and healthy people practically do not feel the negative influence of the weather.
In a sick person, adaptive reactions are weakened, so the body loses the ability to quickly adapt. The influence of weather conditions on a person’s well-being is also associated with age and individual susceptibility of the body.
It is not enough to establish the impact of bad weather on health; we need to fight the dependence of our well-being, performance, mood, and finally, on endless changes atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind.
According to medical statistics, about 75% of people “feel the weather.” Does this mean that they are all unhealthy to one degree or another, or that even people who do not suffer from any illnesses can anticipate changes in the weather? Practically healthy people, in whom all body systems work harmoniously, do not feel any painful reactions at this time. But if a person begins to “feel” the weather, it means that a pre-illness state has already been created in his body, preventing him from adapting to changes. Increased weather sensitivity can also be caused by fatigue that has accumulated over time. for a long time work without vacation or even at the end of a “hard” day. But if even after rest increased sensitivity does not disappear when the weather changes, you should definitely consult a doctor and get examined.
People suffering from any illness, first of all, must, of course, begin to treat it.
To prevent meteosensitivity, such a potent remedy as diet is also applicable.
Climate, movement and nutrition – Here are three main factors on which human health depends.
When it goes warm front, and the oxygen level of the air is deteriorating, it is advisable to eat foods containing ascorbic acid, potassium, calcium, iron – fish, milk, fruit. People with high blood pressure during sudden weather changes need to limit the amount of salt and liquid.
With meteopathy, the intensity of enzyme activity slows down, which means food is digested more slowly. During unfavorable periods, you need to give your stomach a little rest and reduce the number of calories consumed to 1200 – 1500 per day.
Medical research has shown that if you do simple exercises regularly physical exercise, especially such as walking, light jogging, swimming, skiing or cycling, then your dependence on unfavorable days will significantly weaken. Please note that these exercises should be long enough, but consistent with your capabilities - you don’t have to act “through force”, light physical exercises should bring joy. Hardening procedures are just as important - rubbing or dousing, activating biorhythms.
The most important rule is that on such days you cannot overload the body; the period of wakefulness and activity should be less than the rest period, otherwise the body will not cope with the restoration of itself.
And remember that proper nutrition healthy sleep, communication with nature will help cope with the problem of weather dependence.
Cabbage juice is a healthy life-giving drink that can provide our body with many necessary and beneficial substances.

Previously, people could not imagine that a person’s breakfast could consist of various crispy balls with dried fruits, cereals and milk. But these days such food does not surprise anyone, because such a breakfast is very tasty and also easy to prepare. However, such food opens up a lot of controversy and discussion, since it is important for people to know the benefits and harms of breakfast cereals for human health. The very concept of dry food appeared in 1863, and it was introduced by James Jackson. The first food was compressed bran. Even though it wasn't very tasty, it was healthy food. The Kellogg brothers supported the idea of dry food already at the beginning of the twentieth century. At this time, both Americans and Europeans were seized by the idea of correct and healthy eating. At that time, the brothers produced breakfast cereals made from soaked corn kernels passed through rollers. These breakfasts were more like raw dough, torn into pieces. They were helped by an accident in which this body was placed on a hot baking sheet and forgotten about it. Thus, the first breakfast cereals were created. This idea was picked up by many companies, and the cereal was mixed with nuts. Fruits and other products.
What are the benefits of breakfast cereals?
In the last twenty years, ordinary breakfasts, which consisted of sandwiches and cereals, began to be replaced by dry ones. The main advantage of dry food is, first of all, saving time, which is very important in our time. Few people can afford a complete and proper breakfast these days. That is why the main benefit of breakfast cereals is their simple and quick cooking. These breakfasts are prepared simply. All you have to do is pour milk over the cereal. In addition, milk can be replaced with yogurt or kefir.
During the production of breakfast cereals, all the beneficial substances of cereals are preserved. For example, corn flakes are rich in vitamins A and E, while rice flakes contain amino acids important for our body. Oatmeal contains phosphorus and magnesium. But, unfortunately, not all breakfasts are good for the human body; some of them can be harmful.
Dry breakfasts include snacks, muesli, and cereal. Snacks are balls and pads made from rice, corn, barley, oats and rye. different sizes. These grains are steamed under high pressure, in order to preserve the maximum amount of useful microelements and vitamins. However, with additional heat treatment, for example, by frying, the product loses its benefits. When you add nuts, honey, fruits, and chocolate to the flakes, you get muesli. For the production of snacks, ground flakes, as well as various additions to them, are fried. Children often love snacks, so they are produced in the form of different figures. Some manufacturers add various fillings to snacks, including chocolate. However, after adding sugar and various additives to breakfast, it will no longer be very useful. In this regard, to maintain health and figure, it is better to choose unprocessed cereal or muesli with fruit and honey.
Why are breakfast cereals harmful?
The most harmful product is snacks, since their preparation destroys large quantity useful substances. One serving of such breakfasts contains only about two grams of fiber, while our body needs up to 30 grams per day dietary fiber. It is healthier to eat unprocessed flakes that have not undergone heat treatment. This product will fill the body required quantity fiber. Snacks are harmful due to frying as they become high in calories and fat.
It is necessary to take into account the high calorie content of breakfast cereals. For example, the calorie content of stuffed pillows is about 400 calories, and chocolate balls are 380 calories. Cakes and sweets have a similar calorie content, and this is not healthy. Various additives included in breakfast cereals cause more harm. That is why buy raw cereal for children, without various additives. Add honey, nuts or dried fruits to your breakfast cereal and avoid products that contain sugar substitutes.
Wheat, rice and corn flakes are very easy to digest because they contain simple carbohydrates. This fills the body with energy and provides nutrition to the brain, but excessive consumption of these carbohydrates leads to excess weight.
Heat-treated breakfast cereals are very harmful. During the cooking process, the fat or oil used in the cooking process can lead to cardiovascular problems and increased cholesterol levels. Breakfasts often include flavor enhancers, leavening agents and flavorings. Avoid purchasing products with such additives.
A child can be given flakes from the age of six, not earlier, since coarse fibers are difficult for the child’s intestines to absorb.
Pain that people may periodically feel various reasons, can ruin all your plans for the day, ruin your mood and worsen your quality of life. The pain may have different nature, but to get rid of it, people resort to using painkillers. However, few people think about the fact that when using an anesthetic, we can harm our health, since each drug has side effects, which can manifest themselves in an individual organism. However, not everyone knows that some products can reduce or relieve pain, while being quite effective and without exposing the body to additional risk. Of course, when any pain appears, it is necessary to determine what it is associated with. Pain is a kind of signal from the body indicating that it has problems. Therefore, you should never ignore pain, and sometimes it is impossible to do so, since it reminds you of itself, sometimes at the most inopportune moment. In our article we will talk about what products can relieve pain, or reduce its manifestation at least for a while.
People with chronic diseases that periodically manifest themselves as pain can be put on some kind of pain-relieving diet to alleviate their condition. So, here are the foods that can soothe the pain:
Turmeric and ginger. Ginger is tried and tested medicine from many diseases, which can effectively cope with pain. For example, in oriental medicine this plant is used to relieve toothache. For this purpose, you need to prepare a decoction of ginger and rinse your mouth with it. Pain caused by exercise and due to intestinal disorders and ulcers can be soothed with ginger and turmeric. In addition, these plants have a positive effect on kidney health.
Parsley. This greenery contains essential oils that can stimulate blood circulation in the human body, including blood supply internal organs. When parsley is consumed, the body's adaptive abilities increase, which speeds up healing.
Chilli. This is another pain reliever. In the course of the studies, it was revealed that red pepper can increase pain threshold person. The molecules of this product activate the body's immune defense and produce endorphins, which work as a pain reliever. Traditionally, this pepper is included in the menu of peoples living in difficult natural conditions and engaged in heavy physical labor.
bitter chocolate. As mentioned above, the hormone endorphin, which is also called the “hormone of happiness,” is a natural pain reliever. The production of this natural pain reliever is stimulated by eating chocolate. The ability of chocolate to bring pleasure is known to everyone, however, this product not only gives you a good mood, but can relieve painful sensations.
Whole grain products. According to some experts, the ability of foods made from whole grains to relieve pain is excessively high. These products contain a lot of magnesium, which helps relieve muscle pain. In addition, these products help relieve headaches, as they protect the body from dehydration.
Mustard. Mustard can reduce headaches that arise from overwork or other reasons. It is enough to eat a piece of bread spread with fresh mustard.
Cherry. It is very easy to eliminate headaches by eating a few ripe cherries.
Garlic. This is another burning product that can relieve pain, and this also applies to pain resulting from various inflammations.
Citrus. These fruits have pain-relieving properties, just like other foods containing vitamin C. Citrus fruits relieve pain due to various reasons. In addition, these fruits act as a general tonic. Therefore, this is the first product to be given to patients in the hospital.
Cinnamon. Another important remedy used in the fight against various inflammations and pain. Cinnamon reduces the degree negative impact uric acid, increased content which can trigger the development of many diseases, including arthritis.
It's no secret that the human body, like animals and vegetation, coexists in close connection with nature. Whether we like it or not, we still sense (feel) its impact on us. Healthy and strong people They feel only strong changes in weather; the sick and weakened react to small weather changes.
For more than three thousand years, people have been trying to understand and study the issue of influence natural factors on the human body. In ancient Tibet, diseases were associated with meteorological phenomena. Hippocrates (460-377 BC) in his writings described the relationship between a person’s physical and mental well-being and climate change. He wrote in his work “Aphorisms” that human bodies behave differently in relation to the time of year: some are located closer to summer, others - to winter, and diseases proceed differently (good or bad) at different times of the year, in different countries and living conditions.
Thus, there is no doubt that the weather has a direct and tangible effect on the human body and its well-being. Then it is necessary to understand in more detail what forces of nature affect our body, and how the weather affects the health and well-being of people?
Atmosphere pressure
Atmospheric pressure is one of the most influential weather factors. The nature and strength of the influence of atmospheric pressure depend on the magnitude of deviations from the norm (amplitude of fluctuations) and the rate of change. The area of influence extends to almost all organs of our body.
Changes the pressure in the cavities of our body
With a change in atmospheric pressure, the pressure in the cavities of our body also changes, which causes mechanical irritation of the nerve endings (baroreceptors) respiratory organs(pleura), abdominal cavity, joints, blood vessels. Receptors perceive external influences and transmit this signal to the brain, where this information is processed. Backlash The body is provided by the vegetative-vascular system. It is responsible for the connection of internal organs with the central nervous system, for vascular tone and blood pressure, for the functioning of the heart, and also controls the activity of the glands (endocrine, sweat, sebaceous). It is this response of the body that is observed in weather-sensitive people during fluctuations in atmospheric pressure.
With this phenomenon, the following reactions are observed:
- joints – exacerbation of arthritis, joint pain;
- cardiovascular system – sudden changes blood pressure, disturbance of rhythm and heart rate, general deterioration of health;
- gastrointestinal tract- bloating in the stomach and intestines. Quite healthy people may complain of similar symptoms, this is due to changes in pressure in the abdominal cavity.
People are susceptible to the following reactions to changes in atmospheric pressure:
- survivors of traumatic brain injury;
- suffering from intracranial pressure;
- with chronic diseases of the ENT organs.
Reduces the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood
In addition, when atmospheric pressure surges, there is a simultaneous decrease partial pressure oxygen in the blood, which causes hypoxia of the organs and tissues of our body. Our brain cells suffer the most from oxygen starvation. Therefore, even healthy people often get headaches from pressure changes.
The people most susceptible to headaches in this case are:
- those suffering from chronic respiratory diseases, who have suffered severe diseases of the lungs and bronchi;
- those suffering from heart disease;
- having general or local circulatory disorders (for example, in the vessels of the brain, chronic heart failure);
- suffering from anemia.
What indications are considered a deviation from the norm in middle lane Russia?
High pressure is considered to be above 755 mmHg. With such barometer readings, asthmatics, heart patients, and people with mental disorders are primarily affected. Low pressure is considered to be below 748 mmHg. With low blood pressure, hypotensive people have no strength, feel drowsy, feel nauseous, and feel dizzy. In hypertensive patients, the temples begin to pound and the headache intensifies.
Temperature changes
The most comfortable temperature for a resident of the middle latitudes of Russia - 16-18 C 0. This is the temperature that is recommended to be maintained in the room during sleep.
A temperature difference of around 3-4 degrees C 0 is considered normal and does not cause any discomfort to anyone. A sharp cold snap or sudden warming (a temperature change of 7-8 or more degrees C 0 within 12 hours) can cause serious complications in people suffering from vascular diseases or have had a heart attack or stroke.
A sharp change in temperature in itself puts a serious strain on the body. Therefore, doctors do not recommend that people suffering from chronic diseases, especially the nervous and endocrine systems, heart and blood vessels, autoimmune diseases, change climatic zones(in winter go to warmer climes, in summer in zones with cold temperatures).
Cold snap adversely affects immune system body. For this reason, the largest outbreaks of colds and infectious diseases observed during periods of severe cold weather. Therefore, doctors recommend that people suffering from chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, especially those of the ENT organs (chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, etc.) take special care during cold weather to protect themselves from the possibility of relapse of the disease.
Heat (high temperatures)– the ability to withstand heat directly depends on wind and humidity. The more windy and humid it is, the more difficult it is to tolerate the heat. For a resident of mid-latitudes, an air temperature of 27 C 0 is considered comfortable. Those who suffer the most from heat are asthmatics, overweight people, people with metabolic disorders, and those suffering from autoimmune diseases, endocrine and cardiovascular diseases.
Air humidity
Air humidity is the saturation of air with water vapor. Air humidity of 50% is considered comfortable for a resident of mid-latitudes.
In conditions low humidity the air becomes dry, which causes the mucous membranes of the body to dry out and exposes it to the risk of developing infectious diseases. This often happens during the cold season, with the beginning of the heating season, when the indoor air becomes dry.
High humidity in nature it gives rise to dampness. Dampness, in turn, directly affects the body's ability to withstand temperature, since water has a heat capacity. The combination is especially unfriendly for humans the following factors: high (or low) temperature, high humidity and strong wind.
High humidity in the hot season reduces heat transfer from the body and causes the risk of overheating and heat stroke. IN cold season, with high humidity there is a threat of hypothermia, since water literally draws heat from the body. There are cases when frostbite of the extremities occurred even at temperatures above 0C 0 . High humidity can also provoke bronchospasms and surges in blood pressure in people suffering from bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular diseases.
Meteorological dependence on air humidity indicators also affects people with skin diseases suffering from pathologies of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
Movement of air masses (wind)
Movements air masses(wind) of varying densities also cause a lot of trouble. First of all, people with pathologies of the nervous system suffer from the wind. This occurs because the wind has an irritating effect on the receptors of the skin and unprotected mucous membranes. Therefore, people suffering from skin and eye diseases are susceptible to relapses due to the fact that the wind mechanically affects the affected areas.
Strong wind can cause migraine attacks, anxiety attacks in children under 3 years of age, and severe depression in people with an unbalanced psyche.
Complete calm on the contrary, it causes anxiety attacks in people suffering from neuroses, older people (45-60 years old) and adolescents. This phenomenon is directly related to age-related hormonal fluctuations in the body.
This changeable and capricious weather has always had an impact on people. Wind, fog, rain, etc. influences more and more people. Let's figure out how the weather affects a person's well-being. Where does this addiction come from, and who is most susceptible to it?
In fact, many people are prone to weather sensitivity. Such people feel slightly unwell. It is also worth distinguishing between weather sensitivity and weather dependence. Weather-dependent people experience weather changes much more seriously. Such people are subject to sudden mood swings and deterioration in well-being. During such a period weather dependent people various diseases may even worsen. Such a reaction to the weather is a violation of human adaptation to environmental conditions.
When the weather changes, many people experience headaches, daytime sleepiness; some, on the contrary, experience insomnia, severe fatigue and bad mood. During this period, heart patients may have pain in the heart, and blood pressure may jump. Also, when the weather changes, many people experience pain in their joints and aching from past injuries, especially if they are fractures. People after surgery also feel weather changes; such people are especially concerned about places that have undergone surgery.
IN big cities natural conditions have a greater influence on people than in rural areas. Smog in big cities significantly reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation. And what can we say about harmful impurities, exhaust gases and high humidity. Sensitivity to weather is most influenced by gender, age, heredity and general health. Women are more susceptible to weather changes than men.
Four factors influencing human well-being are wind, magnetic storms, temperature and light.
Lack of light greatly affects a person, this manifests itself in mood swings, feelings of depression and apathy. This happens most often in the autumn-winter period. Of course, artificial light cannot be replaced by real light - sunlight, but still, at least this way. Therefore, to avoid depression, turn on more light in the rooms where you are.
Air temperature also affects a person's condition. Especially for people who have vascular diseases (VSD). And, as you know, many people have vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD). Therefore, such people are negatively affected by both heat and cold. This can manifest itself in pressure surges, headaches and heart pain. People with vascular diseases should be included in their daily schedule physical exercise. You can pay attention to aerobic exercise, it saturates the cells of the body with oxygen. Walking, skiing, dancing, running, cycling, swimming will train vascular tone and reduce weather dependence.
On days of magnetic storms, it would be prudent to reduce physical and mental stress. Sleep and relax more. On such days, weather-sensitive people can drink valerian or motherwort. You also need to eat easily digestible food so as not to overload the gastrointestinal tract.
Weather-dependent people also react strongly to high air humidity. Asthmatics and patients with cardiovascular diseases react especially strongly to humid weather. However, even fairly healthy people can experience weakness and fatigue during periods of high humidity. Of course, there is another extreme - too dry indoor air during the heating season. Being in such rooms, the mucous membranes dry out, which can help viral diseases. Therefore, you need to use air humidifiers in your apartment or house. There are different options for sale, you can choose any one that suits both price and quality. A cheaper option would be a bowl of water that can be placed on the windowsill; it will gradually evaporate and humidify the room.
Wind also affects the well-being of people dependent on weather conditions. Therefore, especially on windy days, weather-dependent people’s health worsens. Also, in windy weather, worries, anxiety and melancholy increase in people with mental illness.
Also, weather-dependent people are affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, which leads to problems with blood pressure. Eleutherococcus tincture will help people with low blood pressure during periods of low atmospheric pressure.
How to treat weather dependence? First of all, such people should lead healthy image life. This includes proper nutrition, sports, hardening, rest, sleep. You also need to take additional vitamins and minerals. It will also have a positive effect green tea, lemon balm, licorice and turmeric.
Good afternoon, like-minded people! Today I will share with you my own opinion about the influence of weather on a person’s mental and physical state. There are many discussions on how weather changes affect people. So, let's try to figure out which of this is true and which is fiction.
With the help of correctly formulated and presented information, the consciousness of masses of people is manipulated. That is, information is nothing more than a means of controlling individual groups of people and entire nations.
It was not for nothing that I started this article with the term manipulation of consciousness. You may believe in it, or you may not believe it due to the lack of certain knowledge, but the fact remains a fact. Constant changes in weather conditions in Lately acquired manipulative features.
This is done in order to focus the attention of the people on a specific problem, for example global warming or cold snap, solar flares and the like. While there is a reorientation of people's attention from some other, more pressing problem.
I won't say it's bad. From the point of view of compliance with management principles in large groups people, it's logical. After all, the mass of the people, not having objective data on a particular problem, can cause irreparable damage, and sometimes not only to the ruling elite, but also to themselves. Therefore, government circles (not political) people have always been distracted by various less pronounced problems of a natural nature, and even stupidity.
The examples are simple. Just remember how much attention is paid to the problems of global warming on TV and on the Internet, and some are now talking about global cooling, and also discuss the topic of the existence of UFOs, some kind of space holes, etc. And people, for the most part, subconsciously (from the point of view of the logic of psychology) absorb this information and, willingly and unwillingly, become its objects (carriers and distributors).
Oh, I'm starting to get off topic. But this is a small lyrical digression so that you have a general idea that we are all being manipulated, given a specific program and style of behavior in society, distracted or, conversely, focused our attention on a specific problem... And “ psychological game"with changing weather conditions is also included in the same list.
So does weather change really affect a person’s condition, or is it still a myth to distract attention? Let's figure this out.
How weather changes affect the human condition: man and nature
You and I live in a country where the temperature in some regions reaches the lower limit (up to -50 degrees Celsius), and in others - summer period it rises above +40. You can also observe the following picture: in the same region the air temperature is -40 in winter and +40 in summer.
This of course has its advantages. Fun for kids. In winter, you can build an ice fortress, play snowballs, ride with ice slide. In summer, go for a swim in a river or lake. Of course, these are memories of my childhood. Today, children spend their time a little differently. Although you can see children playing on the streets in places where the so-called “renovations” and “modernizations” have not yet reached international process globalization; where folk stereotypes have not yet been completely destroyed.
So let's get down to business. We are still talking about how weather changes affect a person’s mental and physical state, I would even say, human health.
First, let's find out what weather is from a scientific point of view. So, weather is the totality of the physical properties of the surface layer of the atmosphere over a relatively short period of time (hour, day, week, month). As a rule, the weather corresponds to the climatic conditions of a particular region of our country and the planet as a whole. That is, some region is characterized by rain on most days of the year, and drier days in some. There are concepts of norm. They are individual for each subject.
It is worth stating the fact that man is a part of nature; this is a biophysical body that interacts with its other elements through complex system receptors. That is, a person, being a part of nature, cannot help but be exposed to various climatic factors: atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, magnetic background of the Earth, solar activity, radiation, etc. The response of the human body, as a rule, occurs to changes in any of the listed natural factors.
That is, the influence of changing weather conditions on the human condition is natural and logical from the point of view of the world order. But man has not been living on planet Earth for the first century. Over many millennia, every living organism has developed a protective function that allows it to tolerate certain weather changes in one or another season of the year.
Our body somehow adapts to weather changes in order to maintain its internal constancy. There is a restructuring of certain biological systems body. Specifically: the production of hormones increases, the activity of enzymes increases, blood clotting and platelet content change. There is a change in vascular tone to change the intensity of heat transfer.
In other words, the restructuring of systems when the weather changes is a kind of adaptation of the body to new conditions. A significant part of people do not feel it at all. But for some, adaptation mechanisms are still delayed or do not work at all. And then the body develops increased sensitivity to weather changes, which is called meteosensitivity. It is in these cases that a person’s condition depends on changes in weather.
From this we can state the fact that people who have lived for many generations in the same territorial area are less susceptible to weather changes than those who moved there recently. It must be taken into account that the adaptation period may be too long. It all depends on genetic and physiological characteristics specific person. It is under these circumstances that weather changes affect a person’s condition.
Also weather-sensitive, as a rule, are people with existing diseases - cardiovascular diseases and diseases of the respiratory system. But the influence of weather changes on a person’s condition can also occur in a healthy person.
People who are dependent on meteorological factors, but do not have chronic diseases, may experience increased fatigue - both physical and mental - when the weather changes. You may even develop causeless excitement, restlessness, irritability, and short temper. Sleep may be disrupted: for some people - , others have constant drowsiness. Headaches, an unreasonable rise in blood pressure (BP) or a rise in body temperature to subfebrile levels - 37.0-37.3. Spasmodic pain in the abdomen may occur that is not associated with food intake. These manifestations begin when weather factors change, go away on their own and, which is very important, are not considered a disease.
Let's look at it in more detail possible reaction organism to changes in certain climatic factors.
Possible reaction of the body to magnetic storms
During the period when a flare occurs on the sun, a stream of charged particles from enormous speed rushes towards the Earth. The magnetic field of our planet takes this blow. This impact produces radio waves of different frequencies. Scientists call this phenomenon a disturbance of the Earth’s geomagnetic field, and people have the concept “magnetic storm.” Although the human body is affected by radio waves.
A person who is sensitive to magnetic storms may feel a rapid heartbeat and may experience a headache associated with oxygen deprivation. This is due to the fact that the blood becomes more viscous and has difficulty moving through the thin vessels of the brain.
In general, it should be noted that you and I live in a world in which all living things are surrounded on all sides by various energy waves. There is energy all around us. Water, fire, air, earth, even you and I, generate energy. Even stone can generate energy. The interaction of energy waves can have positive or negative sides. This is why we are so sensitive to thunderstorms, winds, storms, and changes in air temperature. Any natural changes energetically affect living organisms on the planet. Therefore, to some extent this is normal.
The influence of atmospheric pressure on the human condition
How else does weather change affect the human condition? This can occur when atmospheric pressure changes. Atmospheric pressure changes with the approach of some natural phenomenon, for example, thunderstorms and wind, in winter with the onset of cold weather or snowfall. Asthmatics and people with heart disease are especially sensitive to changes in pressure.
This is due to the fact that a change in atmospheric pressure leads to a change in internal pressure in the human body. Accordingly between natural phenomena and living organisms of the planet there is a direct relationship.
Impact on a person’s condition when blood pressure decreases
Let's move on. How else does weather change affect the human condition? Possible decrease in pressure. A decrease in pressure indicates an increase in humidity, possible precipitation and almost always leads to an increase in air temperature. Again, heart patients and people suffering from respiratory diseases are more sensitive to a decrease in pressure.
Such patients experience a feeling of lack of air and shortness of breath. General weakness may occur. During this period, migraine attacks often worsen in weather-sensitive people.
Impact on a person’s condition with increased blood pressure
The pressure rises when clear weather, and in winter - when frost sets in. The approach of clear weather is greatly felt by allergy sufferers, hypertensive patients, and people with respiratory diseases.
When the pressure rises, as a rule, calm weather sets in in nature. In large cities, smog appears and concentration increases harmful substances from plants, factories and cars. Sensitive people may experience headaches and general malaise. It is worth noting that with increased blood pressure, immunity sharply decreases.
The influence of a sharp temperature change on the human condition
For a comfortable life, we need an air temperature of +18 - +21 degrees. Yes Yes. This is exactly the temperature. Therefore, those who strive to live forever in hot countries simply do not realize what problems they may encounter in the future.
But nature does not always create such comfort for us. The fact is that temperature changes lead to a sharp change in the oxygen content in the air. So, when the temperature decreases, the oxygen content in the air increases, and when the temperature rises, it decreases. By the way, this is the reason why it is difficult to breathe in hot weather.
Any sudden change in air temperature negatively affects a person’s well-being. The reason is the body's production large quantity histamine, a substance that causes allergic reactions. This is how weather changes affect a person’s condition.
How does weather change affect a person’s condition: at the same time, I must warn
Recently, you can notice that on TV and on the Internet here and there they are publicly saying that there has been a solar flare, a magnetic storm is approaching, global warming is happening all over the world. Everything would be fine if it were simply stated as a fact. But no. They immediately shout at the top of their lungs about diseases, changes in a person’s condition, the need to stock up on necessary medicines. Oops! Necessary medications? This is the whole secret of this information chatter!
Actually, touching on psychology, I already wrote above, this “information noise” is a way of manipulating the consciousness of masses of people to distract attention. But private enterprises are not lagging behind in this either. Media propaganda today, unfortunately, also acts in the interests of large pharmaceutical companies. There is no need to promote this topic in this article. So I will simply state this as a fact!
The poor grandmothers were scared that any headaches they had were now associated with magnetic storms. Did you even know about them before? They knew, but there was no such information propaganda. And people lived in peace.
How weather changes affect the human condition: solving the problem
Why did I even decide to write this article? Yes, changes in nature directly affect the general condition of a person. This is logical after all. - an inextricable whole. My task is for you, knowing information about how and under what circumstances does weather change affect the human condition?(if you are susceptible to these changes) knew how to overcome such dependence.
Of course, I do NOT recommend you run to the pharmacy and buy medications for headaches, high or low blood pressure, and the like. I covered this issue in detail in the book. . It talks in clear and understandable language about “getting people hooked” on vitamin complexes, dietary supplements and medications.
Remember, your health is only in your hands. Only you yourself can protect your health throughout your life and . Which is what I personally do. The main thing is to know how! If anyone is interested, you can borrow it from your friends to read. I'm sure a lot of people have it, because in the past year alone I've sold about ten thousand copies of the book.
So, what I suggest to reduce the impact of natural changes on the body’s condition:
- Turn off the TV, radio, surf the Internet less. Find something to do, take up a hobby, take a family trip to nature. Don't listen to the false propaganda of "interested people".
- Correct psychological attitude(this is the main aspect). “We are what we think we are.” Stop thinking about weather conditions, as I already said - watch less TV, especially TV shows that talk about the impact of weather on human health. The less you pay attention to this, the less it will bother your body when the weather suddenly changes. Give yourself the attitude: “nature has no bad weather, I can handle any weather, how good I feel in this weather...”
- . Remember! Regular minute-long exercises “save” the heart 7-10 beats per minute. Over the course of a year, this will help reduce the work of the heart by millions of beats and avoid many heart diseases.
- Exercise regularly (at least 3-4 times a week) physical culture or sports training (how physical education differs from sports, read this ). Physical activity combined with proper nutrition increases the body's immune defense, including protection from external influences of magnetic waves.
- Take walks more often fresh air. In general, walking is very good for health, especially before bed.
- . In combination with physical activity hardening will significantly strengthen the body’s immunity, which will make it “impenetrable” even with the most drastic weather changes.
- Organize. Proper breathing improves the functioning of all systems of the human body. With its help you will restore mental and physical health, normalize sleep and improve overall well-being.
Here are the basic tips regarding ways to reduce or prevent altogether “the dramatic impact of weather changes on mental and physical well-being.” I hope that you understand why today they are loudly talking about magnetic waves, radiation, global warming, etc.
I also hope that after reading this article you will not repeat the mistakes you made before. Remember the nine points above. They, and only they, can change your life for the better. No pills, medicines, vitamins, or devices can ever, under any circumstances, be able to fully and objectively help solve your health problem. Don't waste your money.
Yes, by observing these 9 points, you will not immediately get rid of the sensitivity of weather changes. But step by step, gradually you will introduce and strengthen your body to such changes.
Take care of your health. Remember, no amount of money can buy health! All in your hands. For all questions, write by email.
Sincerely, your home doctor and trainer Vinivitin P.A.
