Strong Magnetic Storms Expected in Uzbekistan Over Two Days: Ministry of Health Advises on Precautions

From July 30 to August 1, our planet is expected to experience prolonged geomagnetic storms with a strength of 4 to 7 on the scale. These natural phenomena can negatively affect communication, power grids, navigation systems, and human health. The Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan has provided several recommendations on how to cope in this situation.

Strong magnetic storms can cause increased blood pressure in hypertensive patients, decreased pressure in hypotensive patients, and elevated blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. This is due to a decrease in the production of melatonin, which helps the body withstand external stress. As a result, people with nervous system issues experience increased hormone production, leading to nervousness, weakness, and either decreased or increased reactions.

Magnetic storms can also cause health problems for people with bronchial asthma.

During magnetic storms, some people may experience insomnia or, conversely, drowsiness. In such conditions, it is essential to pay special attention to your diet and drink plenty of fluids. You should consume fresh fruits, potassium-rich foods such as raisins and dried apricots, and items high in vitamin C.

On days when magnetic storms are observed, it is recommended to completely avoid alcoholic and energy drinks, as well as fatty, spicy, and salty foods, since salt can raise blood pressure.

It is beneficial to drink calming teas. Specialists also advise temporarily avoiding excessive exertion and activities.

People with chronic illnesses should carry their prescribed medications and regularly monitor their blood pressure.

Taking showers several times a day can also provide significant benefits.

The Ministry of Health noted that during magnetic storms, some people might have a painful reaction to light and loud sounds. Therefore, it is important to create comfortable conditions for yourself and your loved ones.

These simple measures can help mitigate the negative impact of geomagnetic storms on health and daily life.
