i see some flaws in the topic creators thoughts
climate itself does not make the difference if someone is healthy or not
EG someone living in the alaskan ice belt is not at any different risk than someone living on an exotic island
there are many many things that are involved.
climate change might account for some cases of infection. but the reality is the start of school/college years where new people mix with new people actually cross infect alot more than a change in weather
other things like when its cold. not having a warm jacket. or walking in the rain in just a shirt can cause people to get sick. so less about the climate. and more about what that person wears or not wears to maintain a level body stasus
its about your bodies energy. if your body is having to work extra hard one one function its not working as hard on another
its why they say dont eat standing up. dont swim just after food.
if your body is trying to be strong to stand up your body is not digesting the food as well.
if your body is digesting then theres less energy for your muscles to swim
yes temperatures can fluctuate and yes people can change their habits to sustain a body status they are comfortable with. but to blame the climate as the cause of illness is stupid.
many elderly get pneumonia from the low temperatures. not due to the climate as the cause, but as a result of under funded pension making them unable to adequetly heat their house to a nice temperature. and also other od age things like demensia and stuff that makes them unaware of their condition/surroundings to take care of themselves properly
its not as simple as saying there are 3 categories of people that are climate sensitive.
its more about if people can afford a jacket/home heating to survive the winter. or get fresh food during winter
its more about if people to excessive exercise in summer without staying hydrated.
basically its about humans lack of natural self care. or as the topic creator hints at. the human ability to adapt
and like i said its not always biological but economic and social barrier too
Topic: the impact of time on people (Read 139 times)
Whatever the reasons or challenges involving time, finding the time to do whatever it is you need or want to do, including how you'd want to make the most of your time, these are the most important factors to consider while you still have the time left to do anything in this world.
The impact of climate on human health has long been known.
Already the ancient Greeks noticed the "influence of hot and cold winds" on disease.
Today, the impact of climate on human health is being intensively researched, especially in light of the many consequences of climate change.
It is believed that a healthy human body can adapt to changes in weather and climate.
In the case of extremely high or low temperatures, a person tries to reduce the impact of unfavorable temperature by appropriate clothing or by heating and cooling the space in which he resides.
This reduces the stress to which the body is exposed, and thus the body's susceptibility to disease.
Changes in weather do not affect all people equally.
Given how time affects people, we distinguish three groups:
1. meteorological persons - who respond to changes in weather with depression, neurosis.
This group of people is mostly made up of children or the elderly.
2. meteosensitive persons - who react to changes in weather with stress, headaches, anxiety, changes in blood pressure, which often leads to worsening of chronic diseases, if these people have them
3. meteoropate - which are very difficult to adapt to changes in time. They have a common syndrome of exhaustion and irritability that can last up to several days before and after the change of weather
Changes in the weather and extreme situations have the greatest impact on the sick, children and the elderly.
This is especially pronounced in the case of heat waves that can have a major impact on mortality.
High temperatures mostly affect people with diseases of the vascular, respiratory and immune systems.
Surprisingly, the number of deaths from heart attack during heat waves is relatively small compared to the increase in mortality from other diseases.
