Rain or hot weather not only affects a person's body temperature, but also can affect mood (mood). Why is that?Since the early 1970s, researchers have tried to explain about the relationship between weather and also one's temperament.
Allegedly a depressed mood and less powerful due to the high humidity levels and limited exposure to sunlight. The spirit of a person tends to increase with increasing exposure to sunlight and also a higher barometric pressure.
In October 2007, a group of European researchers studied the effect of different temperatures every day of the six factors namely weather wind, sunlight, rainfall, air pressure and length of days over 1200 participants from Germany.
The conclusion obtained from this study is a good weather provides little positive effect on a person's mood. While the weather is cold, windy and dark days have little negative effect on mood, but it will make a person feel tired and lethargic.
Based on the subjects listed in the journal report, the researchers determined that each person has a different sensitivity or sensitivity to weather changes daily. However, the existing weather can affect a person's mood.
One may tend to have a bad mood if the weather is dark or cold. This tendency is usually based on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
"Someone has to take proactive steps to strengthen the system of the brain that regulate mood swings, because each person has their own responsibilities towards their feelings," said Dr. Ani Kalayjian, Ed.D, RN, a professor of psychology from Fordham University in New York , as quoted from Health.MSN, Monday (06/09/2010).
Dr. Kalayjian said many things can be done for example by listening to music, read a favorite novel, see pictures or a warm vacation spot, regular exercise and stress management also apply.
"The feeling is something that is temporary, so that we can turn them into more positive. A person may not be able to get sun if the weather was cloudy, but she can empower themselves to fight the negative mood," he said.
When the weather is cloudy, then the eye will detect darkness and a small gland in the brain (called the pineal) will release the hormone melatonin is released in the sleep cycle.
Therefore if the weather is sunny, try to go out of the room and under the sun. This can help recharge the body's energy (serotonin) and enhance a good mood.
