Is there really a link between the rainy season and poor health?
While the rainy season is a time of beautiful blooming flowers, it is also a time when many people tend to get sick. The high humidity in particular can cause a variety of symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, and skin problems. There are both physiological and psychological effects on why the rainy season causes these physical ailments.
Common health problems during the rainy season
| symptoms | cause |
|---|---|
| headache | Water imbalance in the body due to high humidity, changes in atmospheric pressure |
| sluggishness | Difficulty in body temperature regulation, which makes it difficult for heat to escape from the body and consumes a large amount of physical energy |
| skin trouble | High humidity causes imbalance of moisture and oil in the skin and promotes bacterial growth |
The high humidity that comes with the rainy season can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms in our bodies. Typical physical ailments reported by many people include headaches, lethargy, and skin problems.
Headaches are one of the most common symptoms, especially in humid environments. High humidity can induce headaches due to an imbalance of water in the body and dilation of blood vessels. Fluctuations in atmospheric pressure, which are characteristic of the rainy season, can also be an important factor in triggering migraines.
Next is sluggishness. Because humidity makes it difficult to regulate body temperature and heat cannot escape from the body, the body constantly attempts to cool itself. This process consumes a large amount of physical energy, resulting in a general feeling of sluggishness and fatigue.
Skin problems should also not be overlooked. High humidity disrupts the balance of moisture and oil in the skin and encourages the growth of bacteria, making sweat rashes, acne, and eczema more likely to occur. Sweating more, in particular, can irritate the skin and cause a variety of problems.
Physiological and psychological factors
During the rainy season, increased humidity has a profound effect on our bodies and minds. From a physiological standpoint, high humidity prevents the body from releasing heat, making it more difficult to regulate body temperature. This makes us feel more fatigued during daily activities and increases the risk of heat stroke. In addition, a humid environment also makes breathing difficult, which can be especially challenging for people with asthma and other respiratory conditions.
On the other hand, the psychological effects cannot be ignored. The dreary weather of the rainy season can cause mood swings. Many people experience symptoms similar to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) due to the continuous cloudy and rainy weather. Thus, the rainy season is also known as a time when people tend to feel depressed and need to pay attention to their mental health.
Understanding these physiological and psychological effects and taking appropriate measures are key to a healthy rainy season.
The physical condition of the rainy season depends on the measures you take! How to Beat the Humidity of the Rainy Season
Increased humidity during the rainy season can have a variety of effects on our health. However, it is possible to alleviate these unpleasant symptoms by taking appropriate measures. Here we offer concrete advice on the effects of humidity on the body and how to counteract these effects, as well as on the importance of managing our physical condition through diet and exercise.
Comfortable with environmental adjustments!
During the rainy season, humidity increases and environmental regulation becomes very important to bring comfort to our living environment. First, dehumidification is fundamental. It is effective to use dehumidifiers to control indoor humidity or utilize air conditioning to keep humidity at the ideal level of 50-60%. This facilitates body temperature regulation and reduces the risk of heat stroke.
Next, choosing the right clothing is also important. Wearing clothing made of lightweight materials that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying will effectively release moisture from the skin and keep the body cool. These garments are key to staying comfortable on even the hottest, most humid days.
Furthermore, when using air conditioning, it is recommended to select the "dry (dehumidification) mode" instead of simply using cooling. In this mode, the room is not overly cooled and the humidity can be lowered to a moderate level to maintain a more comfortable indoor environment.
It is also necessary to take measures to combat fatigue! Staying in shape through diet and exercise
Diet and exercise play a very important role in managing one's health during the rainy season. First, it is fundamental to maintain a nutritionally balanced diet. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals should be actively consumed, and vitamin C is especially essential for supporting the immune system and increasing the body's resistance. In addition, the balance between water and electrolytes is especially important during the hot and humid season. Frequent intake of water and adequate salt intake will help maintain the body's water balance and prevent heat stroke.
Second, moderate exercise is also an essential component of physical conditioning. Moderate exercise promotes blood circulation in the body, which can aid in recovery from fatigue. Light exercise, such as walking, stretching, and yoga, is a good way to stay fit without putting undue strain on the body. Especially during the rainy season, choosing exercise that can be done indoors allows you to move your body regularly without worrying about rain preventing you from going outside.
What are some skin care tips for the high humidity of the rainy season?
The high humidity of the rainy season demands special care for our skin. To adapt to the season's unique humidity and temperature, we will review the selection of skin care products and show you how to prevent skin problems.
How to choose skin care products in high humidity
When caring for skin in a high-humidity environment, it is important to prevent skin problems caused by excessive sebum and perspiration. Select products with the following points in mind
How to select a lotion 1｜Light-textured lotion
During the rainy season, a lotion with a refreshing feel is best for balancing the skin's moisture level. This type of lotion is characterized by its low heavy oil content and easy absorption into the skin.
The main ingredients are rich in water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and other moisturizing ingredients, which moisturize the skin while preventing it from becoming sticky due to excess sebum or perspiration. Selecting products that contain ingredients that support the skin's barrier function (e.g., ceramide and squalane) can also help maintain healthy skin conditions while protecting the skin from external stimuli.
Selection 2｜High-functionality moisturizing creams and gels
Gel-type creams are ideal for skin care in high-humidity environments, as they are highly moisturizing but lightweight. These products are rich in moisture but do not create a heavy film on the skin's surface, thus allowing it to breathe.
Moisturizing ingredients often include aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, which provide deep hydration to the skin and help it retain that moisture over time. Choosing products with anti-inflammatory ingredients can also help reduce the occurrence of problems such as eczema and skin redness.
Selection 3｜Oil-free or non-comedogenic products
Oil-free and non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) products are especially recommended during the dreary rainy season. These products do not contain oils that feel heavy on the skin, thus reducing the risk of acne and clogged pores.
Non-comedogenic products are particularly suitable for oily or acne-prone skin types, providing necessary hydration while keeping the skin clean. Preferred ingredients include salicylic acid and tea tree oil, which promote skin cleanliness and health.
Are there any special care methods to prevent skin problems?
During the rainy season, the skin is more sensitive and requires special care. High humidity during this time of year is likely to cause skin problems, so it is important to protect the skin and keep it healthy by
First, lightly washing the face several times a day with a gentle cleanser gently removes sebum, perspiration, and other contaminants to keep the skin clean. It is important to wash the face without irritating the skin and to try to maintain the skin's natural barrier as much as possible.
Next, it is also essential to strike the right balance between moisturizing and protection. Moisturizing helps maintain skin flexibility and protection from external irritants. Properly selected moisturizing creams and gels should provide the skin with the moisture it needs. In addition to moisturizing, the use of sunscreen products with UV protection is essential to protect the skin from UV rays. Use such products when outside to protect the skin from direct UV rays and other environmental factors.
By practicing these care methods, you can keep your skin healthy and clean and minimize skin problems during the rainy season. Especially for those with sensitive skin, incorporating these care practices into your daily routine will help reduce damage to your skin and keep you comfortable.
Skin problems during the rainy season can be effectively approached through cosmetic medicine!
There is a wide range of physical ailments that occur during the rainy season, though,Aesthetic clinics prevent and correct the causes of skin problems through advanced treatment.In particular, skin moisturizing treatments and treatment procedures that promote relaxation are particularly sought after at this time of year.
For example, hyaluronic acid injections inject hyaluronic acid directly into the deeper layers of the skin, and are popular as an anti-aging treatment as well as a long-lasting moisturizing effect. Hyaluronic acid prevents skin problems from drying out from the inside and improves elasticity and luster, which contributes to a younger appearance.
There are also micro needling treatments such as dermapen. Micro needling uses microscopic needles to puncture tiny holes in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This treatment is effective in tightening and rejuvenating the skin, as well as improving pigmentation and scarring. If you are not comfortable with the procedure, a cosmetic infusion can be used to deliver nutrients from the inside out, which can have a positive effect on skin problems.
These treatments at beauty clinics will not only improve your appearance, but also help to improve your physical condition. The overall treatment will provide relief from skin problems and psychological stress that frequently occur during the rainy season, and will support a more comfortable daily life.
summary
Cosmetic treatments are a very effective countermeasure against physical ailments during the rainy season. Preventing skin problems caused by humidity and receiving treatments that have a relaxing effect can help you maintain good mental and physical health. Practice specific treatments and daily life measures to make the rainy season more comfortable.
