Public Enemy Number 1: Stress – A Connection to Space Weather’s Daily Impacts

Our biological bodies are responding to stress in many different ways and it can be a trigger in sudden death through heart attacks and strokes, or even in diseases like cancer. Stress factors are individual, however, there are some biological stressors all humans have in common.

People generally refer to it as sensitivity to changes in the weather, and most of us have experienced it or know someone who has, be it family or friends. Of those who claim to feel changes in weather or seasons, the most common examples are spring fever and winter depression.

So what? Why is this happening and what is causing it?

It is important to pay attention to the fact that we live in an environment where everything is in constant change, even though we are not aware of many of these changes taking place.

The geomagnetic field is creating a underlying a set of frequencies that are also steering the 24 hour day and night rhythm, via the Pineal Gland which is located in the middle of a vertebrate’s brain. Studies have shown that, periods with geomagnetic disturbances, add an additional stress factor to our environment and to our state of health, well being.

Ancient Civilizations had a wide knowledge of the solar system and the driving light force of our star - the Sun. Due to this fundamental understanding they established lifestyles set up around the Sun and the natural Solar Cycle that goes along with it.

In recent decades, researchers have found significant evidence of correlations between a variety of human health conditions and Solar Activity.

The pineal gland is a pine cone shaped gland of the endocrine system and when it is producing Melatonin, the pineal gland influences the human circadian (day, night) rhythm.

Melatonin is a hormone produced out of Serotonin and is released when the natural border, light, is missing. This change between light and dark is the first signal in part of the system that regulates our wake and sleep cycle, which leads to drowsiness and the lowering of body temperature (getting cold, tired before sleep).

Naturally, the Melatonin level is high at night and reaches its peak production around 3:00 AM. An overproduction of Melatonin during winter is a given since there is little to no sunlight for a longer period of time, which leads to winter depression symptoms. (1)(2)
