how you doing this is MOA green your Asbury Park weather guy and today we going to talk to you for a little bit about weathering your health the signs behind it and what it really means and let's start out clearly by looking at what we have here in front of you it says there's no such thing as good
weather or bad weather there's just weather and your attitude towards it that's very important because to some people when it gets real hot people say it's too hot you it's too cold you so it's a very personal attitude of how we feel about weather so it's no good all
weather is necessary for the planet the more diversity you have in the planet the better it is for the planet so let's start and move on and let's talk about some of the stuff up here okay air quality in your health that's a key issue especially people in
different areas in urban centers where there's a lot of traffic and stuff but in general the air quality is part of the weather and foron says poor air quality can be hazardous to anyone it can aggravate health problems such as asthma
heart disease and lung disease especially among seniors and children people in certain groups that are more vulnerable and some of the things that the air quality can cause everything from a headache diff breathing irritated eyes and Sciences
that what we call pollen allergies chest pain asthma attacks fatigue irritated throat and increasing coughing all that comes about because the air quality is what we Brea it in and if the air is more drier like in the desert we'll have
more prop if it's more humid it become problem because we as humans remember we breathe oxygen we do not breathe water we're not like fish so air quality definitely matters okay impact of climate change on human
health there are many things that climate change can affect and these days climate change is becoming more and more of understanding science where before people thought it was a wise tail and the whole Flat Earth theory which has been this proven time and time again
climate change okay injuries fatalities mental health impacts because people live in certain climates can affect their mental health how they deal with things as I talked about earlier asthma cardiovascular disease you know people have heart problems you know all this
severe weather air pollution affects this heat related injuries death and like say caras that's that's basically a heart attack in certain areas when it's real hot there other diseases malaria dungu epati handti virus rip valley
fever lme disease that's a good one chungu ganga I think I'm pronouncing it right and West now virus a lot of us here in the west have heard about lime disease because it happens a lot during the spring and summer when the leaves and the things are blooming and the lme
disease people end up you know getting sick with that even dogs animals extreme heat envir Force migration civil conflict mental Health impacts people migrate from other places because of climate climate is a form of violence on our bodies and that can cause problems
things like that so that's why people migrate try to get away from the bad weather respiratory allergies asthma so all these things talk about water Food Supplies quality of water malnutrition chloride all that stuff so climate
change is important part of human health and all these things affect us as human beings on this planet let move on bomatic pressure shifts can affect their health now that's the pressure in the atmosphere as we know when you're on
the ground level the the pressure is one thing whether you go up higher go in the plane or anything else or sometime in it's tall building you feel difference in pressure but the pressure on the ground level can change too right so therefore that can trigger headaches like if at night the pressure becomes
lower or when the storm is coming and you ever he when the the storm it gets cloudy and all like that the pressure actually drops those things can trigger migraine headaches or headaches in general and another thing that is getting more information I Rec found that myself how it can raise or lower
your pressure because remember blood pressure is based on the internal pressure of your body so now the outside pressure on your body could affect the internal pressure on your body and that's very key make blood sugar harder to control that means people that are
diabetics who are about controling their blood sugar when the pressure shifts they might feel the need for more food or something because their blood sugar is dropped and I'm saying that is very key and I'm saying as as used to be EMS
that happens a lot when the weather gets a certain way the people's blood sugar drops and they feel they need to have some more food or some liquid also joint pain and you hear that from a lot of older people oh when it gets cloudy or rain or at night my joints hurt yes
because the pressure on the outside your body affects the pressure inside your body and remember the joints are part of the skeleton structure that holds your body up keeps your body going so therefore that pressure can affect that and the older you get if you're not in a certain level of Fitness it can affect
you even more now that we're coming into the warmer weather climate change and it hurts is your health heat waves that's a key thing now as we move into the warmer season as you know now we're in April astronom iCal
spring and that can affect like I said heat waves can affect you you dehydrate that's when it gets hot the tell people make sure you hydrate make sure you drink enough water mental health some people just get so depressed and the people that don't have air condition or have to work outside in the heat that
affects them even more that can affect their mental health respiratory disease like I said if the air is thick and it's got a lot of moisture in it you have hard hard time brething heat cramps once again that's how the pressure and when you dehydrate you end up getting cramps
because the more you sweat you dehydrated and our body is 80% water so more you dehydrate the more your joints are drao for moisture and you end up getting cramped and it starts with the heat cramps and it's not taken care of it can end up with a heat stroke heat
stroke is when you are completely dehydrated you can end up losing Consciousness you can go into respiratory failure and that's a very important not to get the heat cramp if you feel overheated make sure you take a break drink some water especially those
who work outside that's why there's even labor rules now for B to work outside in certain extreme temperatures every hour or so they'd allow to take a water break so they keep away from heat cramps and heat stroke which can keep become very um fatal this is how to protect yourself
in heat wave you said keep cool those who can't afford air condition keep bu a fan have a window open if it's going to bring in cool air otherwise keep the window closed so you keep the warm warm air out and keep it cool as you can in your environment stay out of the heat itself
directly the main part of the day you don't want to be out in the sun between noon and 3: and 4: is the hottest part of the day you do not want to be outside when it's really really hot I'm talking about over 80 and above at high humidity and when you get high heat and high humidity that can cause more of a
problem stay hydrated as you mentioned before and protect yourself from the Sun wearing a hat you know wear sunscreen all those things to protect ourself even if you on the beach that's why I talk about people apply sunscreen hydrate because you're in direct sun and it can
directly affect you and these some of the things that went through like staying indoors keep you know keep in the dark keep curtains closed windows hydrate things I talked about you know lose clothing Splash out cool down check
on your neighbors stuff like that these are all things that are very important and I'm emphasizing that now being we're in the spring season and then another but 60 days or less will'll be into the summer season and that's astronomical um
summer which starts around June 20th theologically it's June 1st so anytime going into and being we have a warmer climate as you notice the temperatures are become more extreme so you might have more heat in fact in the last according to the latest records of Noah
in the last 20 years the planet has been warming up especially on the Atlantic coast the Atlantic ocean part is that's why along the east coast is been Summer's been getting warmer even your Winter's been getting warmer less snow and everything else because Atlantic Ocean is heating up the whole planet is heating up but Atlantic Ocean seems to
be heating up much faster and going to and with these major 10 ways to stay healthy this summer number one get out in the sun but remember with limitations not doing the hardest part of the day if you do protect yourself
prioritize your sleep if your body's rested your body can endure and deal with things a little better eat protein fat fiber at each meal our body is made of protein affects your muscles so you have a good level of protein in your body affects your
muscles and you're able to move more and without pain and it keeps you more healthy it supports your rest of your body eat the rainbow that means you eat like not just one thing like your veggies you know you know certain amount of protein fish chicken meat but mixture
the more you it's more very good for your mental health see friends and family stay hydrated daily movement building strength you can work out in the summer too but not doing the hardest part of the day especially if you're in a non air condition space reduce your
stress and toxin avoidance these are very healthy things and it's it's a website you can go to called www happy healthyhappy human. that comes out of the United Kingdom I I hope the information I gave you today make you think about how the
weather in general affects our health not just complain about it like I say it's a very personal thing but the science this is the science behind it and we want to make sure we understand what's going on and any questions you know we're going to put my email up at the end here you can contact me maata
