A powerful magnetic storm is approaching Earth and will “hit” between October 4 and 5. It was caused by a bright solar flare discovered on October 1. This is the second powerful burst of solar activity in five months.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warns about this.
According to scientists, this will be the strongest magnetic storm not only in October, but also in recent months. Its strong point will be the G3, the third highest category after the G4 and G5.
According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, this storm could cause disruptions to power grids, navigation systems and even satellites. The solar flare will also cause spectacular auroras around the world. However, according to scientists, there is no danger to human health.
The strong magnetic storm will continue from October 4 to 6. All three days he will be powerful and will not lose his strength. Then we will have three days of “calm”, after which solar activity will increase again from October 10 to 12.
Most of the time, on such days, people complain of poor health, headaches, lack of concentration and lack of sleep.
People with chronic illnesses and weakened immune systems are at risk.
To minimize the negative effects of the storm, follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle. On those days it is advisable to avoid stress and intense efforts. It is important to eat less fatty, fried, salty and spicy foods. Instead, eat more vegetables and fruits, doctors advise.
Give up coffee, cigarettes and alcohol. Drink more fluids: plain water or herbal teas.
Ventilate the room regularly and try to walk outside for at least a while. If possible, go to bed at the same time of day and make sure you get enough sleep.
