Man, like all other creatures on our planet, feels the weather changes.. This is a normal weather sensitivity that does not cause any particular trouble.. Meteorological dependence, on the contrary, is a pathological condition and is characterized by an exacerbation of chronic ailments with changes in air temperature, changes in atmospheric pressure, increased wind, magnetic storms and other “surprises” that nature is so generous with..

People suffering from weather dependence should know how to correct their condition at such moments in order to avoid a serious deterioration in health..

The effect of weather vagaries on well-beingMeteorological dependence is most often observed in people suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, respiratory organs, arterial pressure failures, pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and allergic reactions. As a rule, the deterioration of the condition of such patients is associated with the following factors:.

an increase in atmospheric pressure in the cold season, accompanied by a decrease in air humidity and an increase in the concentration of harmful impurities in it. Hypertension, asthma and allergy suffer the most. In patients, the number of leukocytes in the blood decreases, which leads to a decrease in immunity, symptoms occur due to vasospasm (headache, nausea, dizziness, visual impairment, heart pain);

decrease in atmospheric pressure with high humidity and increased wind. Patients with pathologies of the respiratory organs, cores and hypotension react painfully to this.. The most common symptoms are a general decrease in tone, weakness, shortness of breath, migraines, increased blood viscosity and the risk of thrombosis, numbness of the extremities, swelling, joint pain;

heat, especially with high humidity. It leads to breathing problems and poor blood circulation.. The content of salts in the blood decreases, which are intensively excreted from the body with sweat. It negatively affects muscle tone and heart function.. Such weather is worst tolerated by cores, the elderly, patients suffering from thyroid dysfunction or obesity;

magnetic storms. They significantly affect the condition of people suffering from pathologies of the nervous system, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris.. At times of increased solar activity, the number of heart attacks and strokes increases. Some researchers claim more preterm births occur on days when magnetic storms rage..

Meteorological dependence affects about a third of men and almost half of women. In addition, some people, without any serious pathologies, react very strongly to the vagaries of the weather.. This is the so-called psychological weather dependence.. It is observed in 20% of patients who turn to doctors with complaints of drowsiness and general loss of strength (mainly in late autumn). This condition is not considered a disease, but still requires a little correction..

How to reduce the harm caused by weather dependenceThe dependence of well-being on the weather cannot be eliminated, and the weather itself is beyond our control. But you can learn to live with weather dependence, minimizing its unpleasant consequences to the best of your ability.. There are rules of conduct that are suitable for almost all patients whose condition worsens from time to time when weather conditions change.. In case of bad weather:.

remember to take your usual medications and keep emergency supplies recommended by your doctor on hand (especially for heart problems);

do not give up outdoor activities;

do not overeat - eliminate fatty and spicy foods, carbonated and alcoholic drinks from the diet, give preference to light vegetable and fish dishes, cereals and fresh fruits;

strictly observe the sleep and wakefulness regimen, if necessary, use mild sedatives of plant origin.

For a weather-dependent person, it is very important to maintain peace of mind.. Often, the state of health with the vagaries of the weather worsens simply because a person is waiting and afraid of it.. With a reasonable approach to the problem, after reading the weather forecast, you can prepare for possible complications and survive bad days calmly and relatively painlessly.
