The effect of magnetic storms on human health

The effect of magnetic storms adversely affects people who are predisposed to them (according to different data, this is approximately 50-70% of the population all over the world). By the way, it should be borne in mind that in every person the onset of such stress reactions can be observed at different times.

In some, such a reaction appears before the storm (1-2 days before it), others feel bad in the peak of this phenomenon, while the third symptoms of malaise occur only after some time after its completion.

Magnetic storms can significantly affect not only people's health, but also their activities - they destroy power systems, worsen the transmission of communications, harm navigation systems. In addition, there are frequent auto- and air crashes, as well as injuries in various industries. Along with this, physicians found that just during the period of magnetic storms the number of suicides increases (by 5 times).

A few days after the end of the outbreak, the number of strokes with infarcts increases, as well as hypertensive crises. Diverse data show that during storms, this indicator rises immediately by 15%.

The effect of magnetic storms on the body

Usually, magnetic storms develop in medium as well as low latitudes. They can last only a few hours, but sometimes they last up to several days. This phenomenon develops as a result of the ongoing shock wave, which is brought by high-frequency rays sent by the solar wind. Because of the outbreaks occurring in the sun, a large number of protons are launched into space along with electrons. They quickly move to Earth, and then, after 1-2 days, penetrate into its atmosphere. A powerful flow of charged elements changes the magnetic field. Therefore, storms occur when there is an increased activity of solar influence, which affects the magnetic field of our planet.

The most severe effect they have on people with cardiovascular pathologies, elevated / lowered blood pressure, mental disorders, and vegetovascular dystonia. On an organism of healthy young people such fluctuations practically do not influence.

The effect of magnetic storms on children

For a long time it was noted that children react much more sharply to changes in weather than adults. Medical statistics show that about 61% of children under 5 years old suffer from increased meteosensitivity.

The main symptoms of hypersensitivity in children are a worsening of appetite and sleep, constant crying and whims, as well as an increase in the incidence. It is noted that boys are more exposed to magnetic storms. In addition, the risk group includes children who were born through cesarean, as well as premature babies.

In such cases, it is important to create a cozy and comfortable environment for the child in the house, and try to give him as much attention as possible - this will have a beneficial effect. It is also necessary to maintain the optimum temperature in the house. This is done by careful wet cleaning, removing summer dust from windows, and hanging wet fabrics on the balcony. Together with this, it is possible to put in the cupboards containers filled with water and turn on the fan.

It is necessary to choose the time that will be optimal for a summer walk (you should not walk in the hot heat), and at the same time observe the necessary temperature regime. Before going out for a walk, you should grease the child with a cream from sunburn and put on a light summer overall (you need it to be made of natural fabric - linen or cotton). Try to walk in places where there is protection from the sun, and also a lot of fresh air. All this will add strength to the child, and also contribute to a healthy sleep.

Reduce the impact of magnetic storms on the child can be using such methods:

• strengthen nutrition;
• more often give him to drink water, but at the same time in small portions;
• to ensure as many walks in the fresh air as possible, as well as a healthy sleep;
• Do massage in the area of the active points (at the fingertips, earlobes, and also the wings of the nose), and do exercises;
• conduct water procedures.

Symptoms

The negative effect of storms on the body is manifested by such symptoms:

• the appearance of migraine;
• pain in the joints and with it headaches;
• a negative reaction to sharply arising loud sounds, as well as an excessively bright light;
• a feeling of drowsiness or, conversely, insomnia;
• the appearance of irritability, as well as emotional instability;
• development of tachycardia;
• sharp jumps in blood pressure;
• deterioration of general well-being, strong weakness;
• in older people, chronic pathologies worsen.

How to reduce the effect of magnetic storms?

People who depend on meteorological conditions, as well as those who have chronic pathologies, need to monitor the period of the appearance of magnetic storms in advance to protect themselves at this time from any actions and events that can provoke stress. The best option is to give yourself a rest, relax - to reduce the load, both emotional and physical. It is required to try to exclude such moments:

• in addition to physical exertion and stress, avoid overeating - all this increases the burden on the CAS;
• Do not drink alcohol, and limit consumption of fatty foods, as they increase the level of cholesterol;
• it is not recommended to rise abruptly from the bed, because of this, dizziness with headache increases;
• since the negative effect of storms is particularly felt in aircraft, and in addition to the metro (during the sudden deceleration and dispersal of its train), one should abandon this mode of movement during the development of magnetic oscillations. It is noted that the train drivers of the metro often suffer from coronary artery disease, and passengers of the subway often have heart attacks;
• on the 1-2 day of the action of the storm current, the drivers may experience a retardation of reactions (4 times), so it is necessary to be extremely attentive behind the wheel. If there is a meteorological dependence, it is recommended for the period of a storm to refuse driving altogether.

How to reduce the negative impact of storms:

• people with hypertension, pathologies of CCC, neurocirculatory dystonia and so on. It is necessary to constantly keep with them the necessary medicines;
• in the absence of contraindications, you can drink half a tablet of aspirin - it helps to thin the blood, thereby reducing the risk of irregularities in the work of the CAS;
• the effect of magnetic storms effectively reduces simple water - thanks to showering (the best option - contrast) or ordinary washing can significantly improve the patient's condition;
• if the patient feels attacks of anxiety, irritability or insomnia, you should give him sedatives - such as peony, motherwort, valerian and so on;
• Effective tea with the addition of raspberries or mint, as well as a drink from strawberry leaves. A good remedy are decoctions of St. John's wort, dog-rose and lemon balm;
• you also need to eat fruits - such as blueberries, bananas, apricots, raisins, as well as lemons and currants with cranberries.
