The most important thing is the weather
Many are sure: meteosensitivity is the invention of hypochondriacs. They are abusing the attention of loved ones, like to blame the weather, thereby forming a disdainful attitude to this phenomenon. However, the phenomenon of meteosensitivity has been studied for a long time, and not only the old, but also the young, can experience pains in the head, joints, depression and sleepiness during the weather change. Why are some of us, or more precisely 85% of the population (submitted by WHO), weather-dependent? Scientists suggest that in the human body there are special "locators" that perceive the weather change. They are located on the walls of the carotid artery. When the atmospheric pressure drops, a reflex is triggered, which protects the body from the collapse of the circulation. Signals from the "locators" through the spinal cord enter the cerebral cortex, and the body turns on protective reactions, saving it from circulatory arrest. Such processes can occur and with unexpected warming, and with a sharp cooling. However, the body can not react to such changes, and therefore the general state of health worsens. But not only internal processes affect well-being. Aggressive attack, our body is exposed from the outside. For example, with changes in atmospheric pressure, the level of toxic substances in the air of premises and on the street increases. Therefore, during this period, the risk of infectious diseases increases. In addition, with sudden changes in the weather, the amount of oxygen in the air decreases, which causes the body to experience oxygen starvation. Because of this, people have increased irritability, reduced efficiency, fatigue is increasing.

There are two types of "meteobolny": directly meteosensitive and people suffering from meteoneurosis. Meteosensitivity is a widespread and adequate reaction of the organism to changes in solar activity and temperature. Symptoms of this adjustment to the changed conditions can be headache, drowsiness, weakness. Virtually all meteozavisimyh people in an unfavorable period in the blood increases the number of leukocytes (as in infections) - the body is protected from the weather, as from real diseases. People with cardiovascular disorders and respiratory diseases suffer greatly. Meteoneurosis is the dependence of mood on the weather outside the window. If the rain and no ray of the sun - people with this disease all fall out of hand. However, neurotics can be attributed to those suffering from psychosomatic diseases. They, giving in to panic, begin to look for all the manifestations of meteorological dependence: drowsiness, changes in heart rhythms. And they will find something to prove their imaginary illness. They are direct patients of the psychotherapist.
Meteoprophylaxis
Change in weather conditions affects everyone, but if a young healthy organism can withstand stress without much suffering, then with age, as well as with poor health, dependence on what is happening outside the window increases. There are some rules that allow you to reduce the effect of weather on a person - follow them, and then you will not be afraid of cold or rain.
- With a sharp change of weather, reduce physical activity and try not to overload yourself with mental work, do not overdo it. But the 15-minute morning gymnastics will not hurt. After it is useful to take a contrast shower (10-15 minutes).
- During this period, do not overload your body with fatty foods, exclude from the menu acute seasonings and alcoholic beverages. But vegetables, fruits and low-calorie dishes slightly load the body, which already suffers from weather changes.
- If you still suffer from insomnia, restless - tachycardia occurs, take sedatives with valerian, pioneer, motherwort. These natural components have somatic properties.
80% of all cases of myocardial infarction occur when the weather changes dramatically. In the days of the passage of cyclones and at the time of the transition from anticyclones to cyclones, the number of myocardial infarctions increases almost 2-3 times. The peak of diseases is, most often, on the first day of the cyclone. Meteozavisimost requires complex treatment, which, first of all, should be directed to the treatment of the underlying disease, after all, according to observations, these changes most often occur in people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the lungs and the nervous system. Do not overdo it. If possible, try to take a nap after lunch 30-40 minutes and find half an hour for a walk away from the city noise and highways. During the day, drink more fluids, especially water - it helps to remove toxins from the body. Do not be superfluous and freshly squeezed juices, which quickly increase the tone and charge with vitamins. But it's better to refuse coffee and strong tea, because the nervous system is so excited. At the first signs of poor health (tachycardia, headache) you need to take medications that ease the condition - adrenalin blockers, antispasmodics. After taking the medicine, try to sit in a quiet, quiet place and relax. Now we know how to get rid of meteorological dependence, folk remedies - to help you.
