Will the muggy weather make you feel irritable?
Not long ago, if anyone in the scientific community dared to publicly say that magnetic fields, weather or air pressure have an impact on human health, they would probably be dismissed as nonsense. However, according to the latest scientific research, weather changes do affect health. A report in the US monthly magazine "Discovery" also pointed out that at least three US weather companies are preparing to invest in the "weather and behavioral forecasting" business.
More and more scientists believe that climate has a direct causal relationship with people’s mood. Possinger, a professor of neuroscience at Laurentian University in Canada, is one of them.
Persinger said that many patients began to feel a few hours before the solar storm - if it was at night, there would be a faint feeling of dizziness or tingling, "and this is just a very strong feeling." A weak, very weak magnetic field.” He conducted experiments on students with electromagnetic waves "as small as a computer desk" and found that students did experience reduced alertness. Drowsiness and other reactions.
Other scientists have also proven that the onset of angina, toothache and other diseases is related to climate changes. For example, knee arthritis causes particularly severe pain when the weather turns cloudy. Scientists have proven in the laboratory that lower air pressure and higher humidity cause patients' joints to accumulate more fluid and make inflammation more severe.
Of course, based on common sense, everyone knows that too cold or too hot weather is dangerous to the elderly and children. However, the relationship between weather and health is difficult to measure accurately, and most people only have a vague idea of it. . Stephen Petranek, editor-in-chief of Discovery Monthly, said that we cannot tie many people to measuring instruments and wait for the weather to change.
However, from the perspective of "biometeorology", the human body seems to be a huge detector, capable of distinguishing climate changes. For example, the nervous system that controls the expansion and contraction of blood vessels can detect very small changes in the air. It will respond to changes in current.
Traditional Chinese medicine is also particularly sensitive to changes in solar terms and hours. It believes that the important solar terms or Ziwu Maoyou (11 o'clock to 13 o'clock, 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock) are the times that the elderly and frail people should be most careful about. , check the death records, there are really many people who have problems at this time.
Persinger said that the human body has the ability to respond to changes at any time, and the weather is always changing - just like our mood. One method of controlling emotions is roughly consciousness control. When your angry emotions are about to explode, you should use your consciousness to control yourself, remind yourself that you should remain rational, and you can also use self-suggestion: "Don't get angry, getting angry will hurt your body." A well-educated person can generally control things.
The second is self-encouragement. Use certain philosophies or famous quotes to comfort yourself and encourage yourself to fight against pain and adversity. Entertaining yourself will make you feel better.
The third is language adjustment. Language is a powerful tool for influencing emotions. If you are sad, reciting funny sentences can relieve your sadness. You can also regulate your emotions by using self-reminders, self-commands, and self-suggestions such as "controlling anger," "forbearance," and "calmness."
The fourth is environmental constraints. The environment plays an important role in regulating and restricting emotions. When you are emotionally depressed, taking a walk outside can help regulate your mood. When you are unhappy, go to the casino and play games to relieve your boredom. When you are feeling worried, the best thing to do is to watch funny movies.
The fifth is comfort. When a person pursues a certain goal but fails to achieve it, in order to reduce his inner disappointment, he can find a reason to comfort himself, just like a fox saying sour grapes when he cannot eat them. This is not a self-deception, it can be very beneficial as a way to relieve your emotions occasionally.
Sixth is transfer. When anger rises, consciously changing the topic or doing something else to distract your attention can relieve the emotion. Playing ball, taking a walk, and listening to pop music can also help divert unpleasant emotions.
Seventh is catharsis. When you encounter unpleasant things or grievances, don't bury them in your heart. Tell your close friends or relatives or cry loudly. This kind of venting can release the negative emotions accumulated in the heart and is beneficial to maintaining physical and mental health. However, the object, place, occasion and method of venting must be appropriate to avoid harming others.
Eighth is humor. Humor is a special emotional expression and a tool for people to adapt to the environment. Having a sense of humor helps people maintain a positive and optimistic attitude toward life. Using humor to deal with many seemingly troublesome things can often make people's unpleasant emotions disappear and make them feel relaxed immediately.
The ninth is to go into nature. The beautiful mountains and rivers of nature can often shock people's hearts. When you climb a mountain, you will feel your mind broadening. Looking at the sea, you will feel a sense of detachment. When you walk into the forest, everything feels so fresh.
This kind of beautiful feeling is often an inducer of good emotions
