A powerful magnetic storm hits the Earth: how to protect your health

Magnetic storms are expected in May, which can affect the health of people sensitive to weather. The nearest manifestation of changes in the Earth's magnetic field people will feel as early as May 8, as well as in the last days of the month.

The solar laboratory Spaceweather warns about it. Specialists have suggested how to cope with the symptoms that occur during magnetic storms for those who are weather-dependent.

It is predicted that the space ejection that occurred will reach Earth between May 8 and will have a negative impact on the planet's magnetic field. It is expected that this will lead to a magnetic storm of 5-6 points, which may have an impact on weather-dependent people.

In addition, due to the unexpected activity, the schedule of magnetic storms has been changed until the end of May. The most noticeable manifestations of magnetic storms are expected at the end of the month - from 23 to 26, as well as on May 28, 29 and 30. In between these dates, a short break is expected when the magnetosphere calms down and nothing significant happens on the Sun - May 27. These magnetic storms can have an impact on weather-sensitive people.

To protect against the negative effects of magnetic storms, you can use the following recommendations:

• Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day, and remember to get enough sleep;
• Moderate physical activity, such as walking, swimming, yoga or gymnastics, can help manage stress and improve mood;
• Try to limit your intake of caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine, as these substances can make you feel worse during magnetic storms;
• Give preference to healthy foods rich in vitamins and minerals that will help keep your immune system in good condition.
