Stay Above the weather!!

Hi guys
I am SplitLola and you are on my blog apparently...... and i will keep bringing y'all back to this place whether you like it or not cause SL says so -___-  .

 Alright guys, so i have been under the weather for a few weeks now and believe me it hasn't been a great experience. Just when i think im getting better, some drastic climate change will happen and i would go back to the shivers and headaches. This prompted me to do some research on how best to adapt to this sudden or as some people describe it adverse weather change without going under the weather and believe me it has helped me on my road to recovery and maintaining that recovery as well so I decided to share with y’all too.

Believe it or not, sudden climate change weakens your body one way or the other. Recently there have been sudden changes in the weather from breezy, cloudy, cool, and wet to suddenly hot, harsh sun, humid and no cloud cover. Not only is it uncomfortable and sometimes even hot and sweaty, the sudden change in climate has an adverse reaction on our health too!!

 But why do we fall ill?

I’m sure the question running through your mind is “why exactly do we fall ill during times like this?” It is not enough telling us that we might fall ill you need to explain why!!! Calm your nerves down yeah, just keep reading and you’ll find out. The body just like every other machine has processes of its own and adapts to things gradually. It is constantly fighting germs that we come in contact with throughout the day through its  immune system.

 

In the same perspective the internal body temperature and immunity constantly works at keeping you safe when external temperature changes. But with sudden temperature changes the body gets confused and takes a while to adapt. In the process our immunity for that weather goes low and most of us exposed to the horrible heat or cold or lashing rains fall ill.

What are the typical symptoms of weather change?

Mild ones:

• Sudden headaches (It happens to us all… right? )
• Flu like symptoms (fever, cold)
• Getting tired or exhausted (Lazy ass)
• Acidity problems( whatever!!)
• Nausea (Dude I just need more sleep)
• Dizziness (whatever!!!)
• Increased irritation and aggressiveness (it’s that time of the month doorh!!)
• Lack of concentration (I’m just gonna take coffee )
• Mild depression (comes with the stress)

Serious ones:

• Sleep disorders
• Aggravation of already existing pain like arthritis
• Severe migraines
• Heart Attacks
• Severe depression that may lead to suicide!

So if you have any of the above reactions without any other plausible reason it could be a reaction to adverse weather changes.

But hey, there are ways to beat that adverse weather change, try the following steps and see you immunity improve vastly.

How can you prevent such reactions?

Here are few things that you can do when you expect a weather change so that your body can be prepared:

• Increase Vitamin C intake – Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant and helps any adverse effects on the digestive front.
• Decrease sugar intake – Too much sugar impairs the immune system so reducing the intake will help.
• Have herbal teas – Herbal tea detoxifies the body, improves circulation and increases immunity.
• Eat garlic – When immunity is low garlic helps in fighting whatever bad symptoms the body has.
• Less outside food – Don’t tempt outside parasites when your body is prone to falling ill. Outside food is difficult to digest and may carry unwanted bacteria and viruses.
• Eat a fruit rather than drink the juice – Instead of orange juice, eat the orange fruit. The extra vitamins and fiber will help increasing immunity.
• Decrease strain on body and mind - Do not over load at the gym or aerobics class especially if the climate is suddenly getting very hot. Make sure you balance your physical activity. Also do not take too much stress; it can make you succumb to an already weakened body.
• Don’t over work – Do not push your body to its limits even if you do otherwise. During changing weather the body is already weaker than usual. Go easy. Take breaks and manage work better so you do not struggle near deadlines.

 

• Get sufficient sleep – The best therapy to keep your body in good condition is to sleep well. 8 hours of sleep at night will  keep your body rejuvenated.
 

So if you know that the weather has suddenly changed, you know what to do to keep the problems at bare minimum. I hope this write up has been helpful, once again Iam SplitLola and I’m over and out.
