The climate is an integral part of our life, so the weather has its influence on character, well-being and even human behavior. The meteo-dependence phenomenon is studied for a long time, according to statistics about a third of the adult population is sensitive to weather changes.

So, when changing weather or changing the seasons, our body begins to lack some or excessive influence of other factors that are knocked down the right course of our «Biological watches», Violate the flow of internal processes and the work of the organs, worsen well-being, provoke the development or aggravation of diseases.
The role of light in meteo-dependence
Light is one of the most significant factors affecting biological cycles. So, familiar to many mood swings, a feeling of depression, apathy is connected not so much with bad autumn or winter weather, namely with a lack of light. Moreover, the body easily distinguishes natural sunlight and artificial lighting, as they have differences on spectral composition.
The retina receptors are reacting to the light irritant and send signals to the central nervous system - to the hypothalamus. Hypotalamus by hormonal, nervous regulation conducts seasonal restructuring and adaptation of the body. However, in such «Perestroika» Period organism is extremely vulnerable to the action of various environmental factors.
Huge importance in synchronization of biorhythms, depending on the illumination, belongs to the epiphysis - bubble glands, located in the brain. Thanks to the photoreceptors of the epiphyse, even blind people at the level of biorhythms catch the change of day and night. A number of biologically active substances are produced in epiphyshesis, which are involved in the regulation of immunity, puberty and extinction (climax), menstrual function, water-salt exchange, pigmentation processes, organism aging, sleep and wake cycles synchronization. According to some data, it is an unfavorable effect on the epiphysis, which has many factors of the external environment, underlies desynchronosis and meteopathy.
In order to avoid associated with the lack of light of the oppressed state of spirit, fatigue and other manifestations of autumn handra, chronotherapists recommend 2-3-hour walks per day at day, albeit the scarce, light. In the absence of such an opportunity (for example, during the working day), it is desirable to purchase a special lamp for home phototherapy. Daily half-hour session under the light of such a lamp imitating bright sunlight, adapts biorhythms to reduce the light day and helps to avoid a seasonal downturn or overcome it.
In the absence of a sunlight lamp, you must include the usual bright electric light. Of course, the body is difficult to deceive: the electric light differs from natural on the spectral and phase composition, however, without saving on bright electric light, it is also possible to reduce the severity of the symptoms of desichronosis or to prevent its development.
Temperature value
These scientific research on the influence of different temperatures on biological processes showed that the change in the temperature regime leads to activation or, on the contrary, blocking some genes. These processes underlie the genetically programmed biorhym changes.
The vascular system is most sensitive to fluctuations, because it is through a narrowing or extension of vessels that the body carries out thermoregulation and maintains its constant temperature. Therefore, in violation of the regulation of these processes due to the excess spasm of the vessels in the cold in people suffering from arterial hypertension or hypotension, coronary heart disease, headaches may occur, pain pain, register blood pressure fluctuations. Heat can also significantly disrupt the normal course of biological processes, leading to a decrease in blood pressure, dehydrating the body, deterioration in the blood supply to many organs.
Training and synchronizing biorhythms in terms of temperature conditions change has hardening. The main principle of all tempering procedures - air baths, wipes, veins, contrasting soul - in graduality: to start with water temperature 36-37 °C, gradually (for 1-2 °C per week) reducing the temperature to 12-14 °With or increasing air bathing time (for 3-5 minutes per week), bringing the duration of the procedure up to 30-40 minutes. Moderate physical exertion, predominantly aerobic (enriching oxygen) type: walking, swimming, bike, skiing - promote training of vascular tone and reduce dependence on temperature drops.
Magnetic storms and meteo-dependence
Electromagnetic oscillations caused by a change in the geomagnetic background in response to increased solar activity, as well as low-frequency sound oscillations that occur during the passage of cyclones, often cause biorhythms failure, especially those close to them in frequency (usually - mid-frequency biorhythms). This is the so-called phenomenon of forced synchronization, which violates the normal course of biological processes and causes deterioration in well-being. In this case, blood pressure drops, the rhythm of the heart of the heart, the difficulty of breathing in chronic diseases of the respiratory system and T.D.
It was found that the oscillations of the magnetic field of the Earth captured by receptors on the walls of large blood vessels lead to significant changes in the vascular system. During the magnetic storms, spasm of blood vessels develops, in small vessels, blood flow slows down, blood viscosity is growing, the tendency to the formation of thromboms increases, the blood supply to many vital organs deteriorates, the number of stress hormones in the blood is significantly increased. No wonder in the days of magnetic storms, the number of infarction and strokes, sudden deaths increases sharply. In addition, electromagnetic fields adversely affect the epiphysis - one of the main regulators and synchronizers of human biorhythms.
On the days of magnetic storms, people exposed to meteopathy, as well as suffering various chronic diseases, should be reduced by physical and mental load, sleep, at night and during the day it is advisable to accept valerian root or dying leaves. Should not be used on such days a heavy, hard food. Patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system necessarily strict adherence to all medical recommendations and admission of all prescribed by the attending physician of drugs.
The value of humidity in meteo-dependence
Increased humidity, very characteristic of the conditions of stay in a large city when the cyclone approaches, is usually accompanied by a sharp decrease in oxygen in the air. This significantly worsens the well-being of patients with chronic diseases of cardiovascular and respiratory systems. High humidity poorly tolerate people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. However, relatively healthy people can feel the symptoms of oxygen deficiency (hypoxia): weakness, increased fatigue, light fool. Enhance the unfavorable effect of each other. High humidity and temperature - in such conditions, heat transfer is significantly difficult, which can cause thermal blows and other serious disorders in the body.
However, too, dry air, characteristic of our apartments throughout the heating season, can deliver a lot of trouble: due to the drying of the mucous membranes, their irritation arises, the protective properties of the mucous membranes are reduced, they become more sensitive to various pathogenic agents. To avoid this, you need to use the air humidifier. Modern air humidifiers successfully can replace the usual water dishes placed in the room (although aesthetically is not the most successful solution), water-dipped cotton wipes placed on steam heating radiators. Wet cleaning, especially with the use of infants of birch leaves, pine needles, wormwood, yarrow, not only moisturizes the air indoors, but also helps to improve it, get rid of pathogens and viruses.
Influence of wind and atmospheric pressure
The wind associated with the movement of atmospheric masses usually carries with it the change of weather. Therefore, in windy days there is often worsening health in people suffering from chronic diseases. Also very sensitive to the wind people with mental pathology, which have windy weather can increase the feeling of anxiety, unfortunate longing, anxiety.
Atmospheric pressure drops cause blood pressure fluctuations, change the electrical resistance of the skin. Under reduced atmospheric pressure, the pressure is growing in the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines), which can cause a violation of their work. With such processes, the level of standing of the diaphragm increases, which makes it difficult for the work of the heart, lungs. With elevated atmospheric pressure, the well-being of patients with arterial hypertension deteriorates.
