Can sultry weather lead to irritability?

Not long ago, if someone in the scientific community dared to openly say that magnetic fields, weather or air pressure have an impact on human health, it would probably be dismissed as nonsense. However, according to the latest scientific research, weather changes do affect health. A report in Discovery also pointed out that at least three American meteorological companies are going to invest in the business of "weather and behavior prediction".

More and more scientists believe that there is a direct causal relationship between climate and human emotions, and Posinger, a professor of neuroscience at Laurenson University, is one of them.

Posinger said that many patients began to feel it hours before the warning of the solar storm-at night, they would feel faint dizziness or tingling, "and this is just a very weak, very weak magnetic field". He experimented with students with electromagnetic waves "as small as a computer desk" and found that students' alertness did decrease. Reactions such as drowsiness.

Other scientists have also proved that the onset of angina pectoris, toothache and other diseases is related to climate change. For example, knee arthritis is particularly painful when the weather turns cloudy. Scientists have proved in the laboratory that the decrease of air pressure and the increase of humidity will make patients' joints accumulate more fluid and inflammation will become more serious.

Of course, we all know from common sense that it is very dangerous for the elderly and children to be too cold or too hot, but it is difficult to accurately measure the relationship between weather and health, and most people have a vague concept. Stephen Petranek, editor-in-chief of Discovery, said that we can't always tie many people to measuring instruments and wait for the weather to change.

But from the perspective of "bio-meteorology", the human body seems to be a huge detector, and there is a way to distinguish climate change. For example, the nervous system, which controls the dilation and contraction of blood vessels, responds to subtle changes in the current in the air.

Chinese medicine is also particularly sensitive to changes in solar terms and time. It believes that the important solar terms or meridian (1 1: 00 to 13: 00, 5: 00 to 7: 00) are the most suitable time for the elderly and the weak. Check the death records. There are really many people who have problems at this time.

Posinger said that the human body has the function of coping with changes at any time, and the weather is always changing-just like our mood. One of the ways to control emotions is conscious control. When anger is about to erupt, we should control ourselves with consciousness, remind ourselves to be rational, and hint to ourselves: "Don't be angry, it will hurt our health". Educated people can generally control it.

The second is self-encouragement. Comfort yourself with some philosophies or famous sayings and encourage yourself to fight against pain and adversity. Self-entertainment will make you feel better.

The third is language adjustment. Language is a powerful tool to influence emotions. If you are sad, reciting interesting sentences can eliminate your sadness. Self-reminding, self-directing and self-suggestion such as "controlling anger", "forbearing" and "calming down" can also adjust one's emotions.

The fourth is environmental constraints. Environment plays an important role in regulating and restricting emotions. When you are depressed, taking a walk outside can play a regulatory role. When you are in a bad mood, playing games in the casino will relieve your anxiety. When you are worried, the best way is to watch funny movies.

The fifth is comfort. When a person pursues a certain goal and fails to achieve it, in order to reduce his inner disappointment, he can find a reason to comfort himself, just as a fox says grapes are sour when he can't eat them. This is not self-deception, but it is very beneficial as a way to relieve emotions occasionally.

The sixth is transfer. When the anger rises, consciously changing the subject or doing something else to distract attention can relieve the mood. Playing ball games, walking and listening to pop music also help to transfer unpleasant emotions.

Seventh, vent. When you encounter unpleasant things and grievances, don't bury them in your heart, but tell your close friends or relatives or cry. This kind of venting can release the bad feelings of inner stagnation, which is conducive to maintaining physical and mental health, but the object, place, occasion and way of venting should be appropriate to avoid hurting others.

Eight is humor. Humor is a special emotional expression and a tool for people to adapt to the environment. Having a sense of humor can keep a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. Many seemingly annoying things, handled in a humorous way, can often make people's unpleasant emotions disappear and become relaxed immediately.

Nine is to walk into nature. Nature's uncanny workmanship can often shock people. Climbing mountains will make you feel open-minded. Looking at the sea, you will feel detached. When you walk into the forest, you will feel that everything is so fresh. This kind of affection is often an inducer of good mood.
