A powerful magnetic storm is approaching the Earth and will “hit” between October 4-5. It was caused by a bright flare on the Sun, which was discovered on October 1. This is the second powerful burst of solar activity in 5 months.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warns about this.
According to scientists, this will be the strongest magnetic storm not only in October, but also in the last few months. Her strength will be G3 – the third highest category after G4 and G5.
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, this storm could cause disruption to power grids, navigation systems and even satellites. The solar flare will also cause spectacular auroras around the world. However, according to scientists, there is no threat to human health.
The strong magnetic storm will continue from 4 to 6 October. All three days it will be powerful and will not lose its strength. Then we will have three days of “calm”, after which solar activity will rise again from 10 to 12 October.
Most often on such days, people complain of deterioration in health, headaches, impaired concentration, and poor sleep.
People with chronic diseases and weakened immune systems are at risk.
To minimize the negative effects of the storm, adhere to the rules of a healthy lifestyle. On such days, you should avoid stress and heavy exertion. It is important to eat less fatty, fried, salty and spicy foods. Instead, eat more vegetables and fruits, doctors advise.
Give up coffee, cigarettes and alcohol. Drink more fluids – plain water or herbal teas.
Ventilate the room regularly and try to walk in the fresh air for at least a short time. If possible, go to bed at the same time of day and be sure to get enough sleep.
Previously, “Cursor” informed, why long sleep is dangerous for health. British scientists from Keele University conducted research and found out the consequences of sleeping more than normal, that is, over 8 hours.
