Everything hurts, it's going to rain tomorrow!

The weather will change - we often hear when someone's bones or head ache, which is usually followed by a smile. However, there is growing evidence that climate change is having a major impact on the health of some people. Aren't you a meteorologist?

Do you sometimes, without a real explanation and reason, feel nervous, irritable, feel pain in your muscles or stomach, or have a headache?

All of these symptoms come on suddenly and quickly, and they stop just as well.

Although some doctors deny the impact of climate change on health, statistics show that in Europe alone there are several tens of millions of people - meteorologists.

What does bioprognosis predict?

Climate changes in recent years have become frequent and sudden, and we are sensitive to them. Therefore, it is understandable that many people carefully follow the weather forecast, because they want to know what kind of weather awaits them tomorrow, and thus how they will feel. Although it may sound like a joke, migraine and joint disease sufferers are sometimes better forecasters than the weatherman. However, when it comes to the weather forecast, the answer to how some of us will feel the next day is given by the bioprognosis, because along with the announcement of climatic conditions, it predicts their impact on the human body, on health and mood, quality of sleep and ability to concentrate, on the condition of chronic patients (asthmatics, heart patients).

Meteoropaths are sensitive people, whose body rebels against changes in atmospheric pressure and refuses to adapt to them

Why the body reacts

Meteoropathic complaints arise as a result of a disturbed balance of impulses transmitted in the body by chemical substances - neurotransmitters. These substances are created within the nervous system and are present in the brain. Cold, lack of light, low atmospheric pressure and other unfavorable influences lead to the interruption of the transmission of nerve impulses, so we are talking about a disturbed balance of impulse transmission, which results in various symptoms and ailments, nervousness or depressed mood, increased fatigue, insomnia...

Scientists have determined that the center of events is the pituitary gland, a gland in the brain that produces natural analgesics, hormones ACTH and endorphins, and it is precisely this that is strongly affected by climate change. During sudden changes, the pituitary gland produces more ATCH, which causes nervousness, restlessness and anxiety.

Then there is a lowering of endorphin levels, and thus the pain tolerance threshold. When a cold and strong wind blows, the electricity that our body transmits increases in the air, which weakens our natural defenses and makes it harder for us to bear pain.

At the beginning of spring, autumn and winter, meteoropathic complaints are more common due to increased air humidity, which affects the elasticity of collagen fibers, on which the firmness and elasticity of the joints depend.

Who are meteoropaths?

These are very sensitive people, who, due to changes in weather conditions, are above average prone to mood swings, pain or various other forms of discomfort, which disappear or subside simultaneously with the disappearance of the cause. Their body is difficult to adapt to wind, humidity, rain and seems to rebel against changes in atmospheric pressure and refuses to adapt. Although middle-aged people, especially women, are among the most vulnerable, meteoropathy affects everyone, from very young children to the elderly. Regardless of age, people who suffer from arthrosis, rheumatic diseases, allergies and migraines most often encounter meteoropathic complaints. Scientists have proven that increased levels of stress increase sensitivity to climate change. In healthy people, but sensitive to weather changes, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, more intense reaction to minor stimuli can occur a few hours before the occurrence of a change, while meteoropathic shock can cause anxiety, apathy or hyperactivity.

But, regardless of everything, first look out the window every morning, take a deep breath and exhale, then smile cheerfully at the day ahead, because it will certainly be easier and more beautiful!
