Britain suffers from severe cold weather. What effect will severe cold weather have on human body?

From the end of February to the beginning of March in 20 18, affected by the cold air from Siberia and the storm "Emma", Britain suffered the worst severe cold weather in recent years, and many industries were in a state of stagnation, which brought losses as high as 10 billion pounds to the British economy every day. Some economists predict that this severe cold weather may reduce the growth rate by 0. 1% to 0.2% in the first quarter of this year, which is close to half of the forecast of 0.4% growth in this quarter.

In fact, the cold weather is extremely harmful to society, but I didn't expect Britain to be caught. In that cold weather, our bodies will have many problems. What effect does it have on our human body? Let's take a look together.

The stomach shrank into a ball.

When you catch a cold, the muscles and blood vessels in your stomach will contract, and there will be stomach cramps, just like cramps. If you eat raw and cold food or big fish and meat that are difficult to digest at this time, it is more likely to bring a burden to the stomach.

Joint stiffness

Cold can lead to muscle contraction, reduced blood supply and synovial fluid secretion, and poor compliance of tissues around joints (including muscles and ligaments), so many people will feel muscle pain, joint stiffness and arthritis pain. When the temperature drops suddenly, everyone must add clothes to keep warm in time and avoid staying outdoors for a long time. Mountaineering, climbing stairs and other sports will increase joint load and are not suitable for winter.

be down in spirits

Some people will be depressed, have no energy and get angry easily in winter, which is called "seasonal emotional disorder". In winter, the short sunshine time and the disorder of melatonin (a hormone that controls the rhythm of sleep and waking) make the serotonin content that can produce "pleasure" change. In cold weather, people's activities and social activities are reduced, which will also bring depression.

Summary: The above symptoms are harmful to the human body in cold weather, so everyone should take warm measures!
