Doctors warn: to aggravate almost any chronic illness is capable of hypothermia, colds, body overload and stress. "Most often, patients complain of a state of weakness, frequent headache, blood pressure changes, frequent heartbeats. In some cases, among the complaints there is shortness of breath, pain behind the sternum. And most patients turn to the doctor only when the disease is already at the peak of an exacerbation, without conducting any preliminary preventive measures. " Doctors advise: in order that the malaise does not find itself with the first autumn cold snap, you just need to observe a few simple rules. For example, in autumn a full sleep and rest for a person is most important. It is necessary to go to bed on time, and in the daytime - to walk more often outdoors, to eat well. Some experts advise with the advent of autumn to take complex vitamin preparations for the prevention - to support immune protection. Doctors say: health is stronger in those people who spend less time watching a computer monitor or TV. If your professional activity is inextricably linked with the computer, then at least do not touch the computer while at home. Walk on the street, meet with friends, read interesting literature, or engage in some other, abstract, occupation. Practitioners offer a number of "autumn" advice, tested by time:

  • If there is a sharp change in weather, avoid any overload. And this advice applies not only to weather-dependent people, but also to everyone without exception. In such periods, you need especially to beware of stress, physical activity, etc. Take care of those things that will bring you moral satisfaction and improve your mood.
  • Rest at any opportunity. If you are tired, ask a member of the family to give you a neck-and-neck massage. You can take a warm bath with aromatic oil, or a contrast shower. Drinking spirits is not worth it, but 1-2 glasses of good dry wine can afford.
  • It should not be in autumn "sit down" on strict diets. To feel good, the diet should be balanced. Otherwise, numbness of the limbs, back pain, migraine may appear.
  • Do not completely abandon the physical exertion: moderate exercises will bring blood vessels to tone, improve blood flow, raise the mood. And those who suffer from joint diseases, such exercises are simply necessary.

With worsening weather conditions, it is possible to take measures that protect against spleen and headaches. You can cope with the problem by using lime tea. If the bad state of health is prolonged and does not let go for several days, it makes sense to see a doctor. Also, experts note: temperature and atmospheric pressure changes affect not only adults, but also small children, whose bodies are not yet fully adapted to negative external influences. Therefore, you need to protect your health to everyone - from babies to old people. And in this healthy way of life, quality rest and food will help.
