Sharp warming

In the morning they call from radio, TV, newspapers and ships with the same question: what kind of horror is coming for the population in connection with a sharp warming of almost 30°C. Let me also say here: nothing deadly is planned.

Yes, those who already had a barometric headache can react, and specifically to this situation - to warming. Yes, hypertensive patients can react. But the key word here is “can”. Moreover, the more they think about the weather and the more they work themselves up, the more likely they will be able to. Because nocebo is just as powerful as a placebo. If you wait for the negative with all your might, you will receive it in full.

Therefore, problems need to be solved as they arise. There is no point in taking pills in advance. In terms of prevention, it will be much more helpful to go to bed on time, and not hang around on the Internet until 3 am (looked in the mirror and stuck out your tongue to a citizen who does this regularly). And walks. And grown zen, which can be applied to all the New Year’s rush and turmoil.

Give yourself a hygrometer this New Year, in case the air in your apartment is dry, like in the Sahara, and this is much worse for the brain than a drop of 30°C. If the humidity is less than 40%, then give yourself a humidifier, it will become easier to breathe and your head will clear up.

Find something positive and focus on it. New Year is coming soon, after all. Christmas tree, gifts, skates, skis, sleds, concerts, performances. No, we cross out binge drinking, and overeating too.

Something like that ;)

For link lovers ;)
