The changes in well-being with the rapid change of weather conditions, which are noted by many Russians, can be dealt with if you follow a number of rules. Raziyat Chupanova, a neurologist of the SberZdorovye online medical service, told Lente.ru about this.
According to the doctor, meteosensitivity is manifested primarily in people with chronic diseases such as bronchial asthma, rheumatism, arthritis, anxiety and depressive disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The physician clarified that patients with cardiovascular pathology suffer from an increase in ambient temperature, and people with chronic bronchopulmonary diseases, on the contrary, experience discomfort when the temperature drops.
Chupanova named five ways to help cope with weather sensitivity.
Walking
Frequent walks in any weather (wind, cold, heat) temper the body and help to adapt to changing weather conditions.
Physical exercise
They help to strengthen the body and immunity in the long term.
A good sleep
Sleeping for seven or seven hours is also important in the prevention of weather dependence. According to the doctor, lack of sleep affects the function of the nervous system, which takes part in the process of adaptation to new weather conditions.
Reducing stress and treating depressive disorders
These conditions can lead to insomnia, frequent nighttime awakenings, and the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
Balanced diet
A healthy diet will help strengthen the body and boost immunity. In addition, Chupanova noted, one should avoid alcoholic beverages and nicotine. Also, do not overuse coffee.
Earlier, Yuri Gurfinkel, a leading researcher at the Moscow State University Medical Research and Education Center, said that people with meteorological dependence should monitor their diet during changes in atmospheric pressure. According to him, on such days it is undesirable to eat spicy and too salty dishes, as they can provoke drops in blood pressure.
