Meteosensitivity is the body's physiological reaction to changes in weather conditions, such as changes in temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, or solar radiation levels. It can manifest itself in the form of headaches, mood swings, joint pain, sleep disturbances, as well as general fatigue and depression, writes IZ. People with meteosensitivity, especially during periods of magnetic storms or weather changes, may experience significant inconvenience in everyday life. However, there are effective methods of combating meteosensitivity that help reduce its manifestations and improve well-being.

Proper nutrition
Nutrition has a significant impact on our bodies, and it plays a key role in reducing the effects of meteosensitivity. It is important to provide the body with the necessary vitamins and minerals to support its adaptive capabilities. Particularly useful are:
• B vitamins , which improve the functioning of the nervous system.
• Magnesium is a mineral that helps reduce stress levels and calm the nervous system.
• Omega-3 fatty acids , which reduce inflammation and help fight headaches.
• Antioxidants (vitamin C, E ), which strengthen the immune system and help the body cope with stress.
Foods that increase stress levels, such as caffeine, alcohol, and excessively salty or fatty foods, should be avoided.
Regular physical activity
Physical activity has a positive effect on the body in the fight against weather sensitivity. Even moderate exercise promotes the production of endorphins, which improve mood and reduce stress levels. To reduce the symptoms of weather sensitivity, it is recommended to:
• Walks in the fresh air.
• Athletics or yoga, which helps you relax.
• Swimming, which has a great effect on blood circulation and reduces muscle tension.
Regular physical activity also improves blood circulation, helps stabilize blood pressure, and overall well-being.
Adapting to weather changes
One of the main ways to combat meteosensitivity is to accustom the body to fluctuations in weather conditions. This can be done gradually, increasing tolerance to weather changes through adaptation to different temperature regimes. For example:
• Immersion in cold water (if there are no contraindications).
• Taking warm baths in cool weather.
• Exercising outdoors, even if the weather isn't exactly ideal.
This allows the body to more easily adapt to sudden changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Stress management
Psychological state plays an important role in reactions to weather. Psycho-emotional stress can significantly increase meteosensitivity, so it is important to learn how to cope with anxiety and stress. To do this, it is recommended to:
• Meditation and relaxation — help calm the nervous system and reduce stress levels.
• Deep breathing is a simple yet effective way to relieve tension and manage emotions.
• Psychological support — if necessary, you can contact a specialist who will help you learn how to control stressful situations.
Vitamins and supplements
There are special vitamin complexes and supplements that help reduce stress levels, improve the overall condition of the body, and adapt to changing weather conditions. Such drugs include:
• Magnesium complexes — magnesium helps calm the nervous system.
• Adaptogens — drugs that help the body adapt to stressful conditions (ginseng, echinacea).
• Melatonin — to improve sleep, which is important for disturbances due to weather changes.
Weather monitoring
To minimize the impact of meteosensitivity, it is important to monitor the weather forecast. Having learned about the approach of changes in time, you can take the necessary measures (adjusting activity, wearing appropriate clothing, increasing the amount of rest, etc.). Using mobile applications to monitor magnetic storms and weather changes allows you to be prepared for changes and take appropriate measures.
We remind you that we previously wrote a forecast of magnetic storms for April.
