With Earth set to be slammed with huge geometric storms between today and over the weekend, a health expert has explained how any why this could hit your health - and what you need to do. Due to heightened solar activity, alerts have been issued all around the plant for severe geomagnetic storms over the next few days. Tony Spencer, sleep & anxiety expert from Spruce , said intense solar activity can disrupt the body’s circadian rhythm, nervous system, heart rate and blood pressure — even if they’re not visible to the human eye in the form of an aurora, according to research.
Tony said: “According to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health who studied environmental radiation, including the links between solar activity and human health, of solar activity is intense, geomagnetic activity is intense too. In intense geomagnetic activity, they observed an increase of heart rate variability, reduction of cognitive function, increase of blood pressure and adverse health outcomes for pregnant women. “This is in part because visible light from solar flares can disrupt the circadian rhythm, which can in turn affect heart function and the body’s ability to regulate glucose.
But even when solar activity is not visible to the naked eye, the body can still be affected by changes in the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. People with chronic diseases who are more sensitive to circadian rhythm disruption, such as the elderly and people with diabetes, may be affected mo.
