Why is it hot? Why am I so grumpy?

Weather changes not only affect people's health, but also have an important impact on people's psychology and emotions. Good meteorological conditions can make people feel high and comfortable, improve their quality of life and work efficiency, while bad meteorological conditions can make people feel depressed, bored, lazy and depressed, and even lead to mental and behavioral abnormalities.

This is because the pineal gland in the human body secretes less corresponding hormones under strong sunlight, which increases the concentration of thyroxine and adrenaline, while in rainy days and bad weather, the pineal gland secretes more hormones, and the concentration of thyroxine and adrenaline is relatively reduced. Thyroxine and epinephrine can promote cell metabolism, increase oxygen consumption and stimulate tissue growth, maturation and differentiation.

In hot summer, about 10% people will have emotional and behavioral abnormalities, especially middle-aged and elderly people are prone to emotional disorders. Common manifestations are emotional instability, irritability, thinking disorder, and love to lose your temper; Or feel confused, hot-hearted, unable to calm down and think about problems, poor memory; Or depressed, not interested in anything, feeling that life is boring.

I am eccentric and stubborn, and I can't tolerate opposition from others. Otherwise, you will lose your temper, eat badly and sleep badly, and your work efficiency will be low, which will affect interpersonal communication.

The occurrence of emotional disorders in summer is closely related to high temperature, excessive sweating, lack of sleep and poor diet. Therefore, in hot summer, we should increase sleep time as much as possible and get up a little later in the morning when the weather is cool. When the temperature exceeds 32℃, it is best not to engage in sports activities, especially for the elderly, because the body's metabolism is automatically enhanced at high temperature, and there is no need to increase activities, so as not to cause excessive physical consumption and damage the body's metabolism. People should not let their emotions be led by the weather. They can adjust their mood by venting, distracting themselves, listening to music with proper rhythm and seeking the help of psychologists when necessary.
