Synopsis
Climate change is upon us. Every year new weather records are broken: record heat, drought, flood, and an ever-increasing number of cyclones and tornadoes ravage our homes, livelihoods and health. Weather and health issues rarely leave the headlines and they are the two subjects we invariably bring up in our day-to-day conversation. If you are concerned about the effect of climate changes on you, then you will find HOW THE WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR HEALTHis indispensable for explaining the link between the two strongest influences on our lives. The effect that weather sensitivity, climate change, air, heat, cold, solar radiation and violent weather have on us are all presented, with plenty of information on weather-related disorders and preventive and remedial advice. This book tells of the growing concern of: Global warming, asthma, heart and circulatory diseases, electromagnetic radiation, skin cancer, migraines, heat stroke, eye disorders, weather sensitivity, arthritis, blood pressure, pollution, photo-ageing, and seasonal affective disorder.
